CO2 exists as a single molecule as it has no d-orbital . It forms p-pi_p-pi bonding due to which it has weak van der waal forces and hence exist as gas at room temp.
SO2 has d-orbital & forms p-pi_d-pi bonding. It exists as bigger 3-D network structures & hence have stronger van der waal forces . Therefore exist as solid at room temp.

only very week despersion intermolecular hold the molecular together and co2 is a gas at room temperature Si02 is a network covalent solid.
