Question

The substance in the image is called dry ice. It is a solid that, without melting into a liquid first, turns directly into a gas at room temperature. Where are the elements that make up dry ice found on the periodic table?

with the metals
with the nonmetals
with the metalloids

Answer 1

the answer is with non-metals.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry ice means solid carbon dioxide. Molecular formula of carbon dioxide is
`CO_(2)`.

This means that in a dry ice there are one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

As we know that both carbon is a group 14 element and oxygen is a group 16 element. Hence, both of them are non-metals. So, both of then tend to share electrons upon chemical combination.

Thus, we can conclude that elements that make up dry ice found on the periodic table are with the nonmetals,
