Can you name a solid that turns straight from a solid into a gas?

some solids turn straight into a gas when heated. This process is called sublimation. A good example is solid carbon dioxide, also called dry ice. At atmospheric pressure, it turns straight into gaseous carbon dioxide


When referring to gas liquid and solid matter what are the names of the 4 processes of changing states?

Gas -> Solid = Deposition Solid -> Gas = Sublimation Gas -> Liquid = Condensation Liquid -> Gas = Evaporation Solid -> Liquid = Freezing Liquid -> Solid = Melting Hope that helps. Qualifications: I googled it. You should try sometime ^^ + 1 year Chemistry education


What is it called when a solid turns into a gas for kids?

When a solid turns into a gas, it is called sublimation. This is when a substance changes directly from a solid state to a gas state without passing through the liquid state in between.


What do you call when gas turns into a solid?

The process of gas turning directly into a solid is called deposition. This occurs when the gas vapor cools and transforms directly into a solid without passing through the liquid phase.


Is it true or false that when solid melts it turns into gas?

both. It depends what substance it is. For example: solid water (ice) melts into liquid water (water) and then that melts into gas water (water vapour). Another example is that frozen carbon dioxide (c02)which is a solid also known as dry ice, melts into c02 gas hence the name dry ice because when it melts it goes straight into a gas state.

Sublimation is a change of a substance from solid to gas without becoming liquid.


When does solid turns straight into a gas?

Solid turns directly into gas through the process of sublimation. This occurs when the solid is heated and skips the liquid phase to directly become a gas. An example of this is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into carbon dioxide gas without melting.


What happens when solid turns into gas?

The gas can't generally turn straight into a solid, it has to change into a liquid and then a solid. When a gas turns into a liquid, the particles go closer together into groups and condensate. When the liquid turns into a solid, the particles all compress into a small space thus making a solid object.-----------------------------------------------------------------------But the phenomenon of change from a gas to a solid is also very known and is called deposition.


Why napthalene is called a sublimate?

because it turns straight from a solid to gas and bypasses the liquid state.
