Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sublimation is the term used to describe the conversion of a solid directly to a gas, without passing through the liquid state. Condensation is the opposite process, where a gas turns into a liquid, and melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid. Evaporation is the process of a liquid turning into a gas, but it involves passing through the liquid state first.
