Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of converting a solid directly into a gas without going through the intermediate liquid phase is called sublimation. Examples of substances that undergo sublimation include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide), iodine, and camphor. Therefore, option D (sublimation) is the correct answer. Vaporization and evaporization refer to the conversion of a liquid into a gas, while condensation refers to the opposite process of converting a gas into a liquid. Deposition is the opposite of sublimation, i.e., the conversion of a gas directly into a solid.
