Briefly describe the process involved for a phase change to occur between gas and solid, and provide an example.
What is Deposition, where gas particles have high kinetic energy, moving freely and far apart. For deposition to occur, these particles must release significant thermal energy. As energy is lost, gas particles slow down, and their intermolecular forces become strong enough to hold them in fixed positions. Instead of becoming a liquid, the particles transition directly into a solid lattice structure, forming a solid substance. Ex: Frozen fog, Frost Dry Ice, soot in fireplace
