Water vapor that changes in to an ice crystal is called deposition. This what happens in the formation of snow.

The process by which water vapor changes directly to a solid is called deposition. During deposition, water vapor skips the liquid phase and turns directly into ice or frost on a surface.

Process by which water vapor changes directly to a solid?

This process is called deposition. It occurs when water vapor transitions directly to ice without first becoming a liquid. Deposition is the opposite of sublimation, where a solid changes directly to a gas.


What process by which water vapor changes to a solid?

The process by which water vapor changes to a solid is called deposition. This occurs when water vapor in the air changes directly into ice without passing through the liquid phase. This can happen when the temperature and pressure are low enough for the water vapor to bypass the liquid phase and form ice crystals.


When water changes to a solid form it is called?

Ice.


What is the process called when solid water changes to liquid water?

Melting.


What is the unusual feature of solid to gas and gas to solid phase changes?

The three phases of matter (as classically defined) are solid, liquid and gas. Most phase changes that begin with solid and end with gas pass through the liquid phase on the way. Likewise, phase changes that begin with gas and end with solid pass through liquid on the way. Think of water... usually, from solid ice it passes first to liquid water, and only then does it evaporate to gaseous water vapor. It is sometimes possible for solid to change directly to gas. or gas change directly to solid, but these phase changes are the exception, so they can be called "unusual".


What is it called when water changes from a solid directy to a gas?

The process by which water (liquid) changes into Water vapor (gas) is called Evaporation.
