Solid can be converted directly to the gaseous state. This process is known as:

A) Diffusion
B) Evaporation
C) Condensation
D) Sublimation

  1. Sublimation is the process where a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first.
  2. It happens under certain conditions of temperature and pressure, like dry ice turning into carbon dioxide gas.
  3. Sublimation is used in processes like freeze-drying food and in purifying some chemicals.
