is the change of gaseous state directly to solid state without going through liquid the state.
- A. sublimation
- B. Precipitation
- C. Evaporation
- D. freezing
Step-by-step solution
The direct change from gas to solid (without becoming liquid) is called deposition. However, sublimation is often used loosely to describe both directions of the solid-gas transition, and it is the only option among the four that involves a direct transition between solid and gas. Evaporation is liquid to gas, freezing is liquid to solid, and precipitation is not a standard phase change term. Thus, sublimation is the best answer.
