Solid+Carbon+Dioxide+(CO2)

To give you some prior knowledge about this molecular solid. I will give you some information to help you on your learning.


 * Some of us thinks that Carbon Dioxide is only in the form of gas that exists in the Earth's atmosphere, that the plants use for photosynthesis to produce food. BUT what some of us think is WRONG, because there is a Carbon Dioxide that exists in the form of SOLID and is commonly known or called **__Dry Ice.__**


 * __Solid Carbon Dioxide is:__**


 * Carbon dioxide is colorless.
 * at low concentration it's odorless,at high concentration it has a sharp, acidic odor.
 * It will act as an asphyxiant and an irritant.
 * sometimes used as a cooling material and sometimes used to create food.
 * Above -78.51° C or -109.3° F the solid CO2 changes into gas CO2

__**Solid Carbon Dioxide**__ is one of the many examples for Molecular Solid. Solid Carbon Dioxide is a compound composed of two oxygen atom covalently bonded (a bond shared between atoms) to one or single Carbon atom. The solid carbon dioxide is from the gaseous form of carbon dioxide through the process of deposition. The solid form is commonly called dry ice.


 * __//Solid Carbon Dioxide//__** is commonly used as a cooling agent. It was first observed in 1825 by french chemist Charles Thilorier. People can find it in grocery or convinient stores and relatively inexpensive.
