The process by which a solid turns into a gas without going through a liquid phase is called sublimation. An example of substance which does this is frozen carbon dioxide, or "dry ice".

What are the state changes when solids and liquids become gas?

When solids become gas, the process is called sublimation, where the solid turns directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. When liquids become gas, it is called vaporization, which can occur through evaporation (at the surface) or boiling (throughout the liquid).

Is it true or false that solids can go directly into the gas phase without becoming a liquid first?

False. Solids cannot go directly into the gas phase without becoming a liquid first. This process is known as sublimation, where a solid turns into a gas without passing through the liquid phase.


What turns from a solid to a gas without the solid turning to liquid?

This process is called sublimation and can occur with many solids given the correct conditions of temperature, pressure, and humidity. The famous substance that does this is dry ice or frozen carbon dioxide.

Can solids evaporate?

Only certain solids evaporate. Most solids melt before evaporating. When a solid turns straight into a gas, it is called sublimation. Examples of substances that sublime include carbon dioxide, iodine, arsenic, and naphthalene.
