`SiO_(2)`, is a solid while `CO_(2)` is a gas -explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`to` Silica `(SiO_(2))` has giant molecular structure. `to` In `(SiO_(2))` .Si. undergoes sp hybridisation.
It is a 3-dimension structure in which each .Si. atom is tetrahedrally surrounded by four oxygen atoms.
Hence it exists as solid compound.
`to CO_(2)` has linear structure.
`to` In `CO_(2)` .C undergoes sp-hybridisation.
`to` In between `CO_(2)` molecule weak Vander Waal.s forces are present.
`to` In `CO_(2)` molecule two double bonds are present.
`to` Hence `Co_(2)` exists as a gas.
