The process of a solid changing directly to a vapor without forming a liquid?

This process is called sublimation. It occurs when a solid substance changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid state. Sublimation is a physical change driven by the solid substance's vapor pressure exceeding the surrounding pressure.


Can a rock turn into a gas?

Yes, a rock can turn into a gas through a process called sublimation. Sublimation occurs when the solid form of a substance bypasses the liquid state and turns directly into a gas when heated.


Can gases turn into liquid or solid?

The short answer is either. Carbon dioxide when it is frozen is a solid, it does not have a liquid state. Many other gases would become liquid under pressure, like lighter fuel in a cigarette lighter or gas in a calor gas container.


Can a solid turn into a gas and then into a solid again?

Solids can turn directly into gases without ever being a liquid. Carbon dioxide (dry ice) is a common example of this. The process is called sublimation. Gases can also change directly into a solid without ever becoming a liquid. This process is called deposition. I sub freezing temperatures water vapor changes directly into ice crystals. The formation of frost, and snow in clouds, are both examples of deposition.


What happens to a gas as it becomes a solid?

If you mean directly, it is by a process called sublimation where a gas turns right into a solid. If you mean in stages, first the gas cools down and the particles move slower and come closer together. The gas then turns into a liquid. This process is called condensation. Then, the liquid cools down and freezes. It then turns into a solid. This process is called solidification. Sorry for deleting the previous answer. "Through the water cycle" is not specific enough and could be wrong if you were asking how sublimation works and not how a gas turns into a solid in stages.

Can gas go directly to a solid?

Yes. Gas can go directly to a solid by a process called deposition, also known as desublimation. An example is sub-freezing air, where water vapor turns into ice without first becoming liquid.


Is it possible for a solid to turn into a gas then into a liquid?

Yes, through a process called sublimation, a solid can directly transition into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. Additionally, in a reverse process called deposition, a gas can transform directly into a solid skipping the liquid phase as well.


What is called when you turn a gas into a solid and a solid into a gas?

Turning a solid to a gas is sublimation. You cannot go directly from a gas to a solid. First you have to condense the gas and then freeze it. Sure you can - at the triple point

What is a liquid that can turn into a solid called?

A liquid that can turn into a solid is called a "freezing" or "solidification" process. This occurs when a liquid's temperature decreases to its freezing point, causing its particles to slow down and arrange into a more structured, solid form.


Solid changes to a gas?

What is the process in which a gas turns into a solid?

deposition or desublimation and when there are gases not one when they turn into solid this is called excretion
