**Title:** Debunking the Myth: "Iodine Can't Melt Because it Sublimes"
**Key Points:**
1. **Myth Debunked:** Iodine can indeed melt, despite subliming (changing directly from solid to gas) at room temperature.
2. **Demonstration:** Heating iodine shows it melts at high temperatures (~114°C), disproving the myth.
3. **Science Behind Sublimation:**
* Sublimation occurs in all solids, with rates varying based on intermolecular forces.
* Increasing temperature increases sublimation rate.
4. **Source of the Myth:**
* Confusion arises from the single term "sublimation" describing both solid-to-gas transitions below and above the triple point.
* Proposed solution: Introduce a new term (e.g., "Nilation") to exclusively describe solid-to-gas transitions above the triple point.

Here are the extracted key facts, each with a number and in short sentences, excluding opinions:
**Physical Properties and Processes**
1. Sublimation is the transition of a substance from solid to gas phase without a liquid intermediate.
2. Elemental iodine is often used to demonstrate sublimation due to its strong color.
3. Iodine's sublimation rate is slow at room temperature.
4. Increasing temperature increases the sublimation rate of iodine.
5. The boiling point of iodine is approximately 184° C.
**Melting and Sublimation of Iodine**
6. Iodine can melt; its melting point is around 114° C.
7. When heated above its melting point, iodine turns into a liquid.
8. Liquid iodine can be poured, demonstrating its liquid state.
**Phase Diagrams and General Principles**
9. A phase diagram shows the phase of a substance based on temperature and pressure.
10. All solids sublime, including ice, even below 0° C.
11. The melting point of a substance is largely dependent on the substance itself.
12. The boiling point of a substance depends on both the substance and external pressure.
13. Dry ice sublimes at temperatures below -78° C due to its boiling point being below its melting point.
**Terminology and Education**
14. The term "sublimation" can be confusing, as it's used for both solid-to-gas transitions below and above the triple point.
15. Some resources suggest using "evaporation" for solid-to-gas transitions above the triple point, but this is not universally agreed upon.
16. Wikipedia's definition of sublimation is inconsistent, using both definitions interchangeably.
