This process is called sublimation. The opposite (deposition) is where a gas turns directly into a solid. Sublimation occurs if the pressure and temperature are right for the specific substance, so that the solid phase in a phase diagram borders the gas phase.
Examples are: Carbon Dioxide cannot exist as a liquid state at 1 atmosphere pressure, so dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide) turns directly to a gas. In your freezer, ice cubes can sublime away directly into water vapor while in the freezer.
An example of deposition is: Formation of frost and snowflakes directly from water vapor occur at the proper temperature and air pressure.

∙ 8y agoWhen a compound changes from a solid to a gas without first going through the liquid phase, it is termed sublimation. Three examples are mothballs, solid air freshners (Air Wick) and dry ice (frozen CO2).

∙ 15y agoIt depends of which kind of change of state you mean. If you mean from solid to liquid and finally to gas, then basically the atoms in the material begin to change from their more rigid state to a more "free" state. They can move about more easily. Also, when solid, a material has a defined shaped (since its atoms are almost immobile). On the other hand, when a material is liquid its shape becomes undefined and it only takes the shape of a container, and when it is a gas even more so. If you mean a change from solid directly to gas, then this is called sublimation. This occurs without an intermediate liquid state. It can happen because of extreme temperatures or special characteristics of an element or compound, for instance.

∙ 13y agoThere are four States of Matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas and Plasma (super heated gas)
For a solid object to become a gas, it must first become a liquid. For example:
if you put an ice cube in a pan, it would melt, before it turned into a gas.

∙ 10y agoThe process is called "Sublimation". Whether a solid changes directly to a gas, or first to a liquid, then to a gas, depends on the pressure. For example, carbon dioxide will sublimate at room temperature; but at pressures above 5.2 atmospheres, it will change from solid to liquid and then from liquid to gas insatead.

∙ 9y agoWhen a solid changes to a gas directly, it is known as sublimation. One example of this is dry ice becoming carbon dioxide.

What do you call it when a gas directly changes to a solid?
When a gas changes directly to a solid it is known as deposition.
What is process of gas to solid?
Sublimation is the process in which solid changes directly to gas and gas changes directly to solid without any liquid phase
Is it the same when matter changes from gas to solid as when something sublimates?
They are not the same thing.When something changes directly from solid to gas, it is said to sublimate.When matter changes from gas to solid it is called deposition, or sometimes called desublimation.
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.
How each state changes and what it is called?
* solid to liquid: melting* liquid to solid: freezing* liquid to gas: vaporization* gas to liquid: liquefaction* solid to gas: sublimation* gas to solid: deposition
What do you call it when a Solid to changes to a gas?
When a gas changes directly to a solid it is known as deposition.
What is it when a solid changes directly to a gas?
When a gas changes directly to a solid it is called deposition.
How are the state changes of similar to the states changes in most other substances?
These changes of state are: solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to gas, gas to solid. The majority of substances have these state of matter changes.
What are the phase changes of matter?
The melting phase changes are Solid~Liquid~Gas and the freezing phase changes are Gas~Liquid~Solid
How are the state changes of water similar to the state changes in most other substances?
These changes of state are: solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to liquid, liquid to solid, solid to gas, gas to solid. The majority of substances have these state of matter changes.
What changes from a solid to a gas and from gas to a solid?

What is it called when a gas changes directly to a solid?
When a gas changes directly to a solid it is called deposition.
What do you call it when a gas directly changes to a solid?
When a gas changes directly to a solid it is known as deposition.
What phase changes require the addition of energy?
Phase changes requiring the addition of heat energy are the phase changes from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and solid to gas. These phase changes are termed melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), and sublimation (solid to gas).
What is process of gas to solid?
Sublimation is the process in which solid changes directly to gas and gas changes directly to solid without any liquid phase
What are five changes of state?
The 5 changes of state are melting (solid to liquid), evaporation (liquid to gas), condensation (gas to liquid), freezing(liquid to solid), and sublimation (solid to gas or gas to solid)
What are the three phases of water How does water change from one phase to another?
The three phases of water are, liquid, solid and gas. Water changes from liquid to solid by Freezing. It changes from liquid to gas by Evaporation. It changes from solid to gas by Sublimation. It changes from solid to liquid by Melting. It changes from gas to liquid by Condensation.
