The process where energy is absorbed into a liquid to turn it into a gas is called "evaporation" (3). When energy is absorbed and a solid turns directly into a gas, bypassing the liquid state, the process is known as "sublimation" (1). Finally, when energy is released as a gas changes to a liquid, this process is referred to as "condensation" (2).

Extra: Changes of state of matter are physical processes where a substance transitions from one state (solid, liquid, gas) to another. These changes typically occur due to the addition or removal of energy (usually in the form of heat). Here's a bit more about each process:

1. Sublimation: This is when a solid turns directly into a gas without first becoming a liquid. This typically happens under specific circumstances, such as low pressure or when a substance has a very low vapor pressure at room temperature. Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is a common example of a substance that sublimates.

2. Condensation: This change of state happens when a gas loses energy and becomes a liquid. You can observe condensation when you see water droplets on the outside of a cold glass, which form because the moist air around the glass is cooled down to the point where it can no longer hold as much water vapor, resulting in water droplets.
