The sublimation of iodine is an example of a physical change.

In a physical change, the substance undergoes a change in its physical state or properties without any alteration in its chemical composition. During the sublimation of iodine, solid iodine directly converts into its gaseous state without going through a liquid phase. The process is reversible, meaning that the iodine gas can also be converted back into solid iodine through deposition or condensation. This change in physical state does not involve any chemical reactions or the formation of new substances, which is why it is classified as a physical change.
