m Other substances: Make clear that iodine doesn't sublime at atmospheric pressure, although it often appears to.

[[Iodine]] produces fumes on gentle heating, although this is above the triple point. and therefore not true sublimation. It is possible to obtain liquid iodine at atmospheric pressure by controlling the temperature at just above the melting point of iodine. In [[forensic science]], iodine vapor can reveal latent [[fingerprint]]s on paper.<ref>{{cite book
