What is the change of state directly from gas to solid without changing into liquid state known as?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
- The change from a gas to a solid state directly without changing to a liquid state is called deposition.
- This process is the exact opposite of sublimation.
Processes of change of state:
Changes between states of matter are known by the following names:-
- Deposition: Gas → Solid (e.g., water vapor in extremely cold air directly turning into frost or ice crystals).
- Sublimation: Solid → Gas (e.g., burning camphor or dry ice).
- Freezing: Liquid → Solid (e.g., water turning into ice).
- Evaporation: Liquid → Gas (e.g., water turning into steam).
