Question

In the given figure below, the appropriate terms A, B and C respectively are:

• A. A - Freezing, B - Evaporation, C - Deposition
• B. A - Evaporation, B - Solidification, C - Sublimation
• C. A - Sublimation, B - Solidification, C - Evaporation
• D. A - Diffusion, B - Sublimation, C - Evaporation

Answer 1

The correct option is A A - Freezing, B - Evaporation, C - Deposition

$\bullet$ Freezing is a process in which a liquid turns into solid when its temperature is lowered at and below its freezing point.
$\bullet$ Evaporation is defined as the conversion of a substance from its liquid state into the gaseous (vapor) state, on absorption of heat below its boiling point.
$\bullet$ The process where gas turns directly into solid bypassing the liquid state is known as deposition.

Hence, A is freezing, B is evaporation and C is deposition.
