Deposition (chemistry) facts for kids
For the phase transition from gas to solid, see Deposition (phase transition). For other uses, see Deposition (disambiguation).
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.
Deposition can be viewed as a reverse process to dissolution or particle re-entrainment.
