Question

Dry ice is an example of __________

Answer 1

Dry ice:

• It is solidified form of Carbon dioxide and is colourless and odourless.
• When dry ice melts it does not convert into liquid form, instead, it sublimates to gaseous Carbon dioxide.
• It is formed by compressing and cooling the ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ gas at high pressure.
• Dry ice exists as a molecular solid in which the lattice position is occupied by ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules.

So, Dry ice is an example of molecular solid.
