The change from gas to liquid is condensation.
The change from liquid to solid is freezing or solidification.
The change from solid to liquid is melting.
The change from liquid to gas is vapourisation or boiling.
The collective term that can apply to any one of these is a phase change.

Deposition is the term used to describe the direct transition from gas to solid. Sublimation refers to the process of transitioning from solid to gas without passing through the liquid phase.
When a gas changes directly to a solid it is known as deposition.
Boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a gas. Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid.
No, the processes of matter changing from gas to solid and sublimation are different. When matter changes from gas to solid, it undergoes deposition, where gas particles lose energy to form a solid. Sublimation is the direct transition from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid state.
Gas to solid is a process known as deposition where gas molecules lose energy and come together to form a solid on a surface. This can occur through physical processes such as condensation, where the gas cools and changes state directly to a solid, or through chemical processes where the gas molecules react to form a solid product.
