At room temperature, `CO_(2)` is a gas while `SiO_(2)` is a solid because

A

`CO_(2)` is a linear molecule, while `SiO_(2)` is an angular one

B

the van der waal's forces are very strong in `SiO_(2)`

C

`CO_(2)` is covalent, while `SiO_(2)` is ionic

D

unlike `C, Si` cannot form stable bonds with `O`, hence `Si` has to form a `3D` lattice.
