What is the term for the transition from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state?
Correct Answer: Sublimation
- Step 1: Understand that matter can exist in different states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Step 2: Know that usually, a solid turns into a liquid before becoming a gas (like ice melting to water and then evaporating).
- Step 3: Learn that sublimation is a special process where a solid skips the liquid state and goes directly to gas.
- Step 4: An example of sublimation is dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turning into carbon dioxide gas without becoming liquid.
