How are deposition and sublimation different from evaporation condensation solidification and melting?

Deposition is the direct transition of a substance from gas to solid without passing through the liquid phase, whereas sublimation is the direct transition from solid to gas without going through the liquid phase. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas at its surface, while condensation is the process by which a gas turns into a liquid. Solidification is the transformation of a liquid to a solid, and melting is the transformation of a solid to a liquid.


What do you call a liquid that has been heated to a gas?

A liquid that has been heated to a gas is called vapor.


What is the transformation of water vapor to liquid?

The transformation of water vapor to liquid is called condensation. This process occurs when water vapor cools down and changes its state from a gas to a liquid. Condensation is an important part of the water cycle and is responsible for the formation of clouds and precipitation.


What is the difference between fusion and sublimation?

the simplest answer is condensation is the transformation of a gas to a liquid, by losing energy, and sublimation is the transformation of a solid to a gas, by gaining energy.


When a liquid gains energy and changes in to a gas it is called what?

When a liquid gains energy and changes into a gas, it is called vaporization or evaporation. This process involves the molecules of the liquid gaining enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together as a liquid.

What is the transformation of a gas to a liquid?

A substance changes from the liquid state to the gas state when enough heat is added for the temperature to be equal or greater than its boiling point. Example: Water begins turning into a gas when it reaches 100 degrees C, which is the boiling point of water

Is gas to liquid endothermic or exothermic?

The liquid to gas phase transformation (evaporation) is an endothermic process. It requires heat to be accomplished. The gas to liquid phase transformation (condensation) is an exothermic process. The vapor releases heat while condensing into a liquid.
