When a solid substance turns into a gas, it undergoes a process called sublimation. This occurs when the solid directly changes into a gas without first becoming a liquid. The solid particles gain enough energy to break free from their fixed positions and become gas particles.
Water can exist in three physical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). It can undergo physical changes such as freezing (turning into ice), melting (turning into water), evaporation (turning into water vapor), condensation (turning back into liquid), and sublimation (directly turning from solid to gas).
The process of a solid turning directly into a gas is called sublimation. It occurs when the solid absorbs enough heat energy to bypass the liquid phase and transition directly into a gaseous state.
Gas turning into a solid happens through a process called deposition. This occurs when gas molecules lose energy and come together to form a solid without passing through the liquid phase.
Sublimation is a process where a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. It involves the substance absorbing energy to break the intermolecular forces holding its solid form, allowing it to become a gas. Examples include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into carbon dioxide gas.
The process of solid to liquid is called melting. This occurs when a solid substance is heated to its melting point, at which the solid transitions into a liquid state.
When a solid changes state directly into a gas, we say it will sublime, or undergo sublimation.
When a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, it is called melting. Freezing refers to the opposite process when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid. Condensation is the process of a gas turning into a liquid.
The process of a substance turning from gas to solid is called deposition. This occurs when gas molecules lose energy and come together to form a solid.
Various substances can undergo condensation, including water vapor turning into liquid water, gas turning into solid (such as in the formation of frost), and the formation of clouds when water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets in the atmosphere.
Liquefaction means turning into a liquid, and solidification means turning into a solid. The two terms are very close to being opposite in meaning. Although, of course, solid and liquid are not the only states of matter. Vaporization is the process of turning into a gas.
No, potassium permanganate and copper sulfate do not undergo sublimation. Sublimation is the process in which a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through a liquid phase. Potassium permanganate and copper sulfate undergo a different process known as decomposition when heated.
Sublimation is the process where a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This occurs when the vapor pressure of the solid exceeds the pressure exerted on it. An example of this is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning directly into carbon dioxide gas.
Water can exist in three physical states: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). It can undergo physical changes such as freezing (turning into ice), melting (turning into water), evaporation (turning into water vapor), condensation (turning back into liquid), and sublimation (directly turning from solid to gas).
melting
It is the process of a liquid turning into a solid.
freezing
When liquid becomes a solid it has to loose temperature. Because when a substance transforms into solid from liquid the atoms of that substance has to come closer to form the solid form.
