=== === The transition from gas to solid is deposition, where the material goes directly gas-solid with no liquid phase in between.
The opposite (solid-gas) is sublimation, most commonly seen with "dry ice", where solid carbon dioxide directly evaporates as a gas.
This is useful because (a) CO2 is very cold, so it's a good coolant and (b) there's no messy liquid that needs to be contained.

∙ 13y agoAll gases except helium can be frozen solid at a sufficiently low temperature. Helium does not freeze at any temperature, it exists only as either a gas or a liquid.
At low temperatures, gas molecules are moving more slowly, and at some point the attraction between molecules will be greater than the kinetic energy of the random thermal motion; that's why gas can freeze (or in the case of helium, liquefy).

Is a banana solid liquid or gas?
A solid.
What happens to gas when it is in a solid container at now temperature?
the gas condenses to become liquid in the solid container
What is it called when solid turns into plasma?
A solid can't transform directly into a plasma. A plasma is an ionized gas, usually at a very high temperature. A solid has to melt then be vaporized into a gas (or in a few cases, sublimate from solid to gas) before it can become a plasma.
Is a brass solid liquid or gas?
Depends on the temperature. the natural state is a solid. If you raise the temperature to its boiling state it will become a liquid and a further raise in temp will convert it to a vapor. (gas)
How does the arrangement and movement of particles change as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas and solid to a liquid?
From a liquid to a gas, the particles become more spread out and move slower. From a solid to a liquid, the particles also become more spread out and move slower.
What solid can become a gas?
all solids can evaporate to a gas
What gas can become solid?
all solids can evaporate to a gas
When can water become gas and a solid?
If heated above boiling point become gas! (100celcius) If freezed below melting point become solid (0 celcius)
Is a banana solid liquid or gas?
A solid.
What happens to gas when it is in a solid container at now temperature?
the gas condenses to become liquid in the solid container
What are the changes in state of matter?
The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. A solid melts to become liquid and a liquid evaporates to become gas. Sublimation is the direct change from solid to gas.
When water changes from gas to a solid?
Water as a vapour (gas?) has to condense back to water, which can then become a solid if frozen.
When water changes from solid to gas?
Water as a vapour (gas?) has to condense back to water, which can then become a solid if frozen.
Is butter a solid liquid or gas?
Butter is a solid. By definition of a solid, butter has a definite shape and a definite volume.
What does a gas become when it cools and condenses?
A gas that cools and condenses can become either a liquid or a solid, depending on the pressure.
Is solid gas?
A gas is a gas, as the name suggests. It can, along with liquid be referred to as a fluid. Cooled and pressurised sufficiently it can become a liquid and cooled further, a solid.
What does a solid heat up and become?
A solid, when sufficiently heated, can either become a liquid (melting) or can be converted directly into a gas (sublimation).
