A change of state directly from solid to gas without changing into liquid state is called:
general-sciencechemistry
- AFusion
- BSublimation
- CDiffusion
- DEmulsion
Explanation
Sublimation is the direct change of state from solid to gas without passing through the liquid state (e.g., camphor, naphthalene, dry ice). Fusion is solid to liquid, diffusion is the spreading of particles, and emulsion is a colloidal mixture. Hence sublimation is correct.
