Carbon dioxide is a gas but silica is a solid because:

1.  carbon dioxide is composed of discrete covalent ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules whereas silica has continuous

     tetrahedral structure

2.  ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ molecules are lighter than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$ molecules

3.  ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ is more acidic than ${\mathrm{SiO}}_2$

4.  melting point of silica is very high

The greatest percentage of $\mathrm{CO}$ is in:

1.  coal gas

2.  producer gas

3.  water gas

4.  oil gas

2.  $\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{C}—\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{C}—\mathrm{Si}$

3.  $—\stackrel{\mathbf{|}}{\mathrm{Si}}—\mathrm{O}—\stackrel{\mathbf{|}}{\mathrm{Si}}—\mathrm{O}—\stackrel{\mathbf{|}}{\mathrm{Si}}—$

4.  $\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{Si}—\mathrm{Si}$
