Options:
  • A $\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{Li}>$ Naphthalene $>$ Solid $\mathrm{CO}_2$
  • B Solid $\mathrm{CO}_2>\mathrm{Na}>$ Naphthalene $>\mathrm{Li}$
  • C Solid $\mathrm{CO}_2>$ Naphthalene $>\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{Li}$
  • D $\mathrm{Li}>\mathrm{Na}>$ Naphthalene $>$ Solid $\mathrm{CO}_2$

The correct answer is: Solid $\mathrm{CO}_2>$ Naphthalene $>\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{Li}$
The lower the sublimation enthalpy, the lower is the heat required to sublime it and easier for that substance to get sublimed.
Thus, the order of ease of sublimation will be:solid $\mathrm{CO}_2>\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{Na}>\mathrm{Li}$
