Sublimation is where a solid turns into a gas directly without a liquid stage.
Many solids are able to do this under the right temperature and pressure conditions. Common examples are iodine and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).

How can solid change?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
What is it called when a solid turns to gas?
sublimation Sometimes solids can change directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first. The most common substance that goes directly from solid to gas is Carbon Dioxide. It goes directly from solid (dry ice) to gas.
What is the phase change in which a substance changes directly from a gas to a solid?
A phase change directly from a gas to a solid is called deposition.
Why all solids do not change from solid to liquid to gas on heating?
because some solids have extreme strong force of attraction
What is needed for a solid to go through a phase change?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
How can solid change?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
What is the process that takes place when ice changes to solids directly?
Since ice is solid, it does not change to solids. Your question is confused.
How can we change solid form?
A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.
What is it called when a solid to gas?
sublimation Sometimes solids can change directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first. The most common substance that goes directly from solid to gas is Carbon Dioxide. It goes directly from solid (dry ice) to gas.
Gas changes directly into a solid how does this change affect energy?
It depends. Some solids will first melt (change to a liquid) and not change to a gas until still more energy is added. Some solids will change directly to a gas by a process called sublimation. Pretty much all solids have a pressure range (from zero pressure up to their triple point) where they will only sublimate.

What changes from a solid directly to a gas?
Carbon dioxide and Iodine both sublime directly from solids to gases.
What solids change into a gas?
a low density solid
Does solids have volumes that change easily?
no because a solid has particles tightly packed it is hard to change a solid
How do solid change their shape?
Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.
How can you change a solid to a gas?
By heating it. Some solids convert to gas directly, others first go through the liquid phase - depending on the material and the pressure.
