Question
Name the term used for:
  1. Solid directly formed from the gas.
  2. Gas directly formed from the solid.

Answer

  1. When a solid substance converts directly into gas without going through the liquid phase it is called Sublimation.

Sublimation is an endothermic process, where as Desublimation is a thermodynamic process.
