  2. Deposition (phase transition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(phase_transition)

    One example of deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapour changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid. This is how frost and hoar frost form on the ground or other surfaces. Another example is when frost forms on a leaf. For deposition to occur, thermal energy must be removed from a gas.

  3. Chemical decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_decomposition

    In the breakdown of a compound into its constituent parts, the generalized reaction for chemical decomposition is: AB → A + B (AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction) An example is the electrolysis of water to the gases hydrogen and oxygen: 2 H 2 O(l) → 2 H 2 (g) + O 2 (g)

  4. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    Familiar examples are the melting of ice or the boiling of water (the water does not instantly turn into vapor, but forms a turbulent mixture of liquid water and vapor bubbles). Yoseph Imry and Michael Wortis showed that quenched disorder can broaden a first-order transition. That is, the transformation is completed over a finite range of ...

  5. Deposition (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposition_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, deposition occurs when molecules settle out of a solution. Deposition can be defined as the process of direct transition of a substance from its gaseous form, on cooling, into a solid state without passing through the intermediate liquid state. [1] Deposition can be viewed as a reverse process to dissolution or particle re ...

  6. Condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

    The word most often refers to the water cycle. [1] It can also be defined as the change in the state of water vapor to liquid water when in contact with a liquid or solid surface or cloud condensation nuclei within the atmosphere. When the transition happens from the gaseous phase into the solid phase directly, the change is called deposition.

    Other stoppages have been much shorter, with economic analyses after the fact often showing that the lost money is then returned to the US economy in nearly equal measure after the government reopens.

  8. Atomic layer deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_layer_deposition

    Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a thin-film deposition technique based on the sequential use of a gas-phase chemical process; it is a subclass of chemical vapour deposition. The majority of ALD reactions use two chemicals called precursors (also called "reactants"). These precursors react with the surface of a material one at a time in a ...
