Answer:
The reason why carbon dioxide is a gas and silicon dioxide is a solid is because their chemical structures are different. Carbon dioxide is a linear structure with two double bonds between carbon and oxygen. It is a small molecule and non-polar with only weak bonds between the molecules. Hence it is a gas.
