Sublimation is where a solid turns into a gas directly without a liquid stage.

Many solids are able to do this under the right temperature and pressure conditions. Common examples are iodine and dry ice (solid carbon dioxide).

How can solid change?

A solid is transformed in a liquid by melting; some solids are transformed directly in a gas by sublimation.


What is the process that takes place when ice changes to solids directly?

Since ice is solid, it does not change to solids. Your question is confused.


How can we change solid form?

What is it called when a solid to gas?

sublimation Sometimes solids can change directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first. The most common substance that goes directly from solid to gas is Carbon Dioxide. It goes directly from solid (dry ice) to gas.


Gas changes directly into a solid how does this change affect energy?

It depends. Some solids will first melt (change to a liquid) and not change to a gas until still more energy is added. Some solids will change directly to a gas by a process called sublimation. Pretty much all solids have a pressure range (from zero pressure up to their triple point) where they will only sublimate.


If cooled does most solids change into gases?

No, cooling solids typically causes them to contract and become denser, rather than changing into gases. Cooling a substance lowers the kinetic energy of its molecules, which reduces the distance between them and causes the solid to solidify further. However, if the solid sublimes (changes directly from solid to gas), then cooling could cause it to transition into a gas.

What changes from a solid directly to a gas?

Carbon dioxide and Iodine both sublime directly from solids to gases.


How do solid change their shape?

Solids change their shapes in many ways. Solids will melt if they are in hot temperatures, and this changes their shape.


How can you change a solid to a gas?

By heating it. Some solids convert to gas directly, others first go through the liquid phase - depending on the material and the pressure.


What is the change of state directly form solid to gas or from gas to solid?

The change of state directly from solid to gas is called sublimation, and the change from gas to solid is called deposition.
