Melting is solid to liquid. Sublimation is a change from solid to gas with no liquid stage. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates directly to carbon dioxide gas. No liquid- hence "dry" ice.

∙ 13y agosublimation differs from melting because during sublimation a solid turns to a gas, without going through the liquid stage, whilst melting a solid turns it into a liquid.

What is the word for ice changing into water vapor without melting first?
The word for a solid turning into a gas without going through the liquid phase is - sublimation.
Sublimation includes melting True or false?
false
Is a candle an example of sublimation?

Melting, Freezing, Condensation, Evaporation, and Sublimation.
The conversion of a solid to liquid is called?
You should know the names of the process for these phase transitions. sublimation deposition SOLID ============> GAS ==============> SOLID melting freezing SOLID ============> LIQUID =============> SOLID (solidfication) condensation vaporization GAS =============> LIQUID =============> GAS
Is it true melting is considered an sublimation change because energy is gained by substance as it changes stae?
Melting is a phase change in which a substance changes from the solid state to the liquid state. Sublimation is a phase change in which a solid moves directly into the gas phase. Both melting and sublimation are two types of physical change.
When matter changes from a solid to a gas it is called?
Condensation
