Its called Sublimation;
Chemical sublimation of an element or substance is a conversion between the solid and the gas phases with no intermediate liquid stage. Sublimation is a phase transition that occurs at temperatures and pressures below the triple point.
At normal pressures, most chemical compounds and elements possess three different states at different temperatures. However, for some elements or substances at some pressures( vapour pressure of the substance) the material may transition directly from solid to the gaseous state.
The opposite of sublimation is deposition. The formation of frost is an example of meteorological deposition.
In psychology, sublimation is a coping mechanism. It has its roots in the psychoanalytical approach, and is often also referred to as a type of defense mechanism.
Sublimation is the refocusing of psychic energy away from negative outlets to more positive outlets.
These drives which cannot find an outlet are rechanneled. For example, a student who has a major upcoming test, rather than spending time and energy worrying about it, might rechannel that time and energy into studying; and a sexually perverse person who is accustomed to wasting time and energy on sex, might instead rechannel those outlets towards expressions of sexuality such as art.
Hope it answers your question.

This is SUBLIMATION.
The classic example is Carbon Dioxide Ice (s) to Carbon Dioxide Gas (g).
