Question

What happens when a solid turns straight into gas and skips the liquid stage?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Liquid to solid phase transitions are known as "freezing.". Solid to liquid phase transitions are known as "melting.". Solid to gas phase transitions are known as "sublimation.". In most cases, solids turn into gases only after an intermediate liquid state.

Answer 2

Sublimation

Sublimation is the process of transformation directly from the solid phase to the gaseous phase, without passing through an intermediate liquid phase.
