Yes, they can. This process is called sublimation.
A good example of this can be found with dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide.
At pressures normally found on earth carbon dioxide cannot exist as a liquid, and instead will transition directly between the solid and gas states.
What else can I help you with?
When substances go directly from the solid phase to the gas phase the phase change is called?
sublimation
Can electricity freeze and become solid like other substances?
No, electricity cannot freeze and become solid like other substances because it is a flow of charged particles and not a physical material that can change states of matter.
What is the change of state directly form solid to gas or from gas to solid?
The change of state directly from solid to gas is called sublimation, and the change from gas to solid is called deposition.
What is the phase in which substances change directly from a solid to a gas?
i would assume that sublimation,solid to gas,would be the same answer when going from a gas to a solid.
What substances change from gas to solid?
Substances that change from gas to solid undergo a process called deposition. Examples include water vapor turning into snowflakes, carbon dioxide subliming into dry ice, and iodine subliming into solid crystals.
What change takes place when a solid changes directly to a solid?
Sublimitatition IS WHEN A SOLID TURNS DIRECTLY INTO A GAS! DEPOSITION IS WHEN A GAS TURNS DIRECTLY INTO A SOLID!
Is dry ice smoking at a concert is a physical or chemical change?
The process of dry ice sublimating, or turning directly from a solid to a gas, is a physical change. No new substances are formed, just a change in the physical state of the dry ice from solid to gas.
Which liquid change directly to solid?
Water changes directly to a solid when heat is applied
What is a phase change in which a substance changes directly from a solid to a gas?
A phase change directly from a gas to a solid is called deposition.
What is a phase change in which a substance changes directly from a solid to gas?
A phase change directly from a gas to a solid is called deposition.
What is the change of state from a solid to a vapor?
The change of state from a solid directly to a vapor is called sublimation. This process occurs when a solid substance bypasses the liquid phase and turns into a gas. Examples of substances that undergo sublimation include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and mothballs (solid naphthalene).
Is iodine becomes a purple gas a chemical change?
Yes, iodine becoming a purple gas is a physical change, not a chemical change. A chemical change involves the formation of new substances with different chemical properties, whereas in this case, the iodine is just changing its physical state from solid to gas without forming any new substances.
