Solution

Dry Ice

  • In between fluid and plasma stages, the matter is in its gaseous state.
  • Because gas particles are typically separated from one another, their intermolecular interactions are more fragile than those of fluids or solids.
  • Gases have little consistency and thickness.
  • A single carbon atom is joined to two oxygen molecules to form dry ice. Lackluster, odorless, and non-combustible describe dry ice.

State which gas is known as dry ice

  • Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide, or CO2.
  • When the pressure is reduced to one atmosphere, carbon dioxide transforms directly into a gaseous state without first passing through a fluid state; therefore, CO2 is referred to as dry ice.
