1 Answer

Jun 8, 2017

By $condensation$ $"condensation"$ or $deposition$ $"deposition"$ .........

Explanation:

$Vapour deposition - ---- \to Solid$ $"Vapour " stackrel("deposition")rarr" Solid"$

$Vapour condensation - ------ \to Liquid$ $"Vapour " stackrel("condensation")rarr" Liquid"$

And the vice versa processes..........

$Solid sublimation - ----- \to Gas/vapour$ $"Solid " stackrel("sublimation")rarr" Gas/vapour"$

$Liquid vaporization/boiling - ---------- \to Gas/vapour$ $"Liquid " stackrel("vaporization/boiling")rarr" Gas/vapour"$

Can you think of an actual example of each process?
