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-entrainment.^[2][3]
