Frosting appears to occur via two different phase transition mechanisms. The first is a sequence wherein water vapor first condenses to liquid water, whereupon the liquid water freezes to form frost. The second mechanism of frosting is direct vapor-solid deposition of frost (or desublimation) from water vapor. On a very cold day, desublimation is a likely frosting mechanism. Direct deposition of solids from vapor has applications in industry and the laboratory. We can vaporize a material, such as elemental gold, and then deposit the vapor onto a substrate. This process is known as sputtering.

What else can I help you with?
Why breathing on to a cold window causes water vapour form your mouth to condense?
When you exhale warm, moist air onto a cold window, the air cools rapidly upon contact with the cold surface. This causes the water vapor in your breath to lose heat energy and condense into tiny water droplets on the window, creating fog or frost.
Is frost an element?
No, frost is not an element. Frost is the thin layer of ice that forms when water vapor in the air freezes on surfaces that are below freezing temperature. It is a natural phenomenon caused by cold weather conditions.

Jack Frost soda was made in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, by the Poole Beverage Company. The company operated from the 1930s to the 1970s and was known for its popular Jack Frost soda flavor.
The defroster melts the frost on the windshield Is this physical change or chemical change?
This is an example of a change in the physical states of Matter. These states-of-Matter are: Solid, Liquid, Gas and the Newest and Latest and most energetic State - Plasma. Frost is a special 'case' because it does not Condense [vapor to liquid], it Sublimes - water [in this case] vapor crystallizing [directly] to the Solid - bypassing the liquid phase.
What state of matter is frost?
Frost is a solid state of water vapor that forms on surfaces when the temperature drops below freezing. It is composed of ice crystals and is typically found in cold environments.
What is the frost that appears on the grass in the winter?
Ground frost or hoar frost.
Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
Frost forms on a window pane.
