When a solid turns directly into a gas, without passing through a liquid phase, it is called sublimation.
A well-known example is the sublimation of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) into gas at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of -78.5 oC (about -104 oF). This is sometimes used in theatres or nightclubs to produce a dense fog which remains close to the ground.

∙ 12y agoNot always. For a solid to become a gas, it has to also be able to exist in a liquid form. A substance cannot go straight from solid to gas, it must change from a liquid into a gas. For example, ice will become water which can become water vapor. In contrast, a block of wood cannot become a liquid, which means it cannot become a gas.
However, even though metals can be turned to liquid when heated to very high temperatures, most do not have a gaseous form.

Do all solids form a liquid berfore they turn into gas?
All solids except sublime solids form a liquid before they turn into gas. Sublime solids directly turn to gases.
If cooled does most solids change into gases?
When cooled gases change to liquids (usually) and then solids Solids don't change to gases upon cooling
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?
All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?
What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?
I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid
Do all solids form a liquid berfore they turn into gas?
All solids except sublime solids form a liquid before they turn into gas. Sublime solids directly turn to gases.
Can all solids turn into gases?
Yes. Any substance can be in any of the four phases.
If cooled does most solids change into gases?
When cooled gases change to liquids (usually) and then solids Solids don't change to gases upon cooling
Which is the gas stored in the fire extinguishers which when realeased forms solids?
There is no type of fire extinguisher that forms solids when released. They release either a gas or liquid or combination. Some liquids may turn into solids when they dry. Some gases (such as CO2) might make OTHER materials turn into solids.
All solids liquids and gases are?
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
How can volume be use to separate solids and gases?
Solids have a definite volume and gases have a variable volume
Would it be easier to separate solutions of gases or solids?
i would say solids but it depends on how good youare with solids or gases. hope this helps :)
Dose conduction work in solids liquids or gases?
conduction take place in solids and gases
What are not like gases?
Solids and liquids are not like gases.
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
How do solids get into the air?
Solids turning into gases is called Sublimation.
