"freezing"
Melting means the point at which a solid phase begins to change to a liquid phase. I.e. Water has a melting point of 32.1 Degrees Fahrenheit. At 32 it changes from the liquid phase to the solid phase. At 32.1 it reverses the process.
A solid (like dry ice- solid carbon dioxide) turns directly to a gas, without being a liquid.
It is a solid.
BTW, it's a solid, normal phase means state of matter
In physics, the solid to liquid process is known as melting. The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. There is a change in phase or a phase transition in a substance when there is a change in either its temperature or pressure. The melting process is a phase transition.
A substance which changes state directly from a solid to a gas is said to have sublimed.
"freezing"
Sublimation is the process in which solid changes directly to gas and gas changes directly to solid without any liquid phase
Iodine. Also, the process is called sublimation (phase change from solid --> gas)
Yes, it has no liquid phase at standard atmosphere pressure and it goes directly from solid to gas - this process is called sublimation
sublimation is a process in which a solid is directly converted to its vapour phase without facing liquid phase.
Solid to liquid: meltingLiquid to solid: freezing
This change of phase is called freezing.
That process is referred to as "melting".
freezing (phase change)
This change of phase is called freezing.
