This change of phase is called vaporization (or evaporation at low temperatures) and is a physical phenomenon; the chemical nature of the molecules was not changed.
Yes, sublimation is a change from solid to gas.
The molecules of the substance gain thermal energy as a result of which they vibrate more energetically. When the molecules have acquired enough energy they escape from the solid and enter the gaseous phase. Incidentally, there is no requirement for there to be a liquid phase between the solid and gas.
When a solid melts, it gains energy in the form of heat because energy is required to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together. This energy goes into overcoming these forces, allowing the solid to transition to a liquid state.
When heat is supplied to a solid substance, the energy is absorbed by the molecules, causing them to vibrate faster and thus increasing their kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy allows the solid to eventually change phase into a liquid or gas, depending on the substance and the amount of heat supplied.
Sublimation is the transition directly from solid to gas, without the intermediary liquid stage. The reverse (the transition directly from gas to solid) is called deposition or desublimation.
A change from gas to liquid, from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas, etc.
When a substance goes from a gas to a solid it is called deposition.
When a substance changes from a solid to a gas, called sublimation, it quickly becomes less dense.
A substance which changes state directly from a solid to a gas is said to have sublimed.
It sublimes
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.
Both! The physical state of a substance can go straight from gas to solid, or can heat from solid to liquid and then to gas. The process a solid undertakes when it goes straight to its gas state from a solid state without first turning liquid is called sublimation.
fusion
A physical change to a substance is a change in its state. This means that the substance goes from a solid to a liquid or gas, or vice versa.
Yes, sublimation is a change from solid to gas.

When the molecules have acquired enough energy they escape from the solid and enter the gaseous phase. Incidentally, there is no requirement for there to be a liquid phase between the solid and gas.
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.
