The correct term is sublime. Iodine sublimes, just like ice and camphor do.

This always confuses me. If I paint a spot it vanishes in no time,
yet I have a kilgram of both Iodine and KI, so it's not like I don't
have access to it. Also I notice that if I put some Iodine on a flat
surface like a desk it stains it immediately, then I remove the source
and it does something not unlike 'evaporates', so I'm not sure this
method of testing means anything. I'm not sure evaporate is the
correct term, perhaps its behaving more like a gas, I haven't
researched that yet.
