The term is used to describe the conversion of a solid directly to a gas, without passing through the liquid state. evaporation sublimation condensation melting

sublimation

Explanation:

It is defined as sublimation to the act and consequence of sublimation (that is, to pass directly from the solid state to that of steam or to aggrandize, highlight or exalt someone or something).

Sublimation (from latínsublimāre) or volatilization is the process that consists in the change of state of solid to the gaseous state without going through the liquid state.

For chemistry, sublimation (a phenomenon also defined as volatilization) is the procedure that is based on modifying the solid state of a material by that of a gaseous state, without having to take it to the liquid state. The concept also allows naming the opposite method (the direct transfer between the gaseous state and the solid), although it is more common to talk about reverse sublimation or crystallization.

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
