a phase change: solid to liquid: melting liquid to solid: freezing liquid to gas: vaporization gas to liquid: condensation solid to gas: sublimation gas to solid: deposition
A change of state is a change in the object from a solid to a liquid. Other changes of state are a solid to a gas or from a liquid to a solid.
Going from gas to solid is Deposition, from solid to gas is Sublimation
Solid --> Liquid. Liquid -> Gas. Solid --> Gas.
Sublimation is the change in state from solid to gas.
sublimation
sublimation
Yes. The proper term for going from a solid to a gas is sublimation. Boiling is reserved for a liquid to a gas.
Please note that a "change of state" involves TWO states, not just one. Using just the three most common states of matter: * A solid can change to a gas * A liquid can change to a gas * A gas can change to a liquid * A gas can change to a solid * A solid can change to a liquid * A liquid can change to a solid The first four changes in the list above involve gases.

Solid --> Liquid = melting Other changes of state: Solid --> Gas = sublimation Gas --> Solid = deposition Liquid --> Solid = freezing/solidification Gas --> Liquid = condensation Liquid --> Gas = vaporization
Solid <-> liquid <-> gas.
