Sublimation = any solid turning to gas without passing through a liquid phase. Water sublimes on Mars - it can only exist in the solid or gas phases there, due to the <1% atmospheric pressure.

Solid electroid is, of course, rumoured to be a key component of the e-bomb, much sought by anarchists and other reprehensible types for its near-limitless destructive potential. Pedants offering the secret of crystallising electroid surface from time to time, but those who don't disappear mysteriously are usually proven to be charlatans.

Yeah,

The one which I (and I guessed most people) had demonstrated in Chemistry was iodine.  In the Fume Cupboard.  'Cos there sure was a lot of that purple gas from just a few crystals.

Of course, they also demonstrated catalysis with iodine.  The teacher would grind up aluminium and iodine together and then pour a little mound of it onto an asbestos sheet.  Then he'd switch on the desk extractor fan sitting right next to it and drip a tiny bit of water onto it.  Purple Volcanoes ahoy!
