Because carbon dioxide is a gas.

Added:

At 1.0 bar, normal pressure, it sublimes (solid-gas phase change) at -78 °C, 194.7 K without passing through its liquid phase.

At 5.185 bar the boiling point (from liquid) is -57 °C, 216.6 K.

Why can we not talk about the melting and boiling point of air?

This because air is a mixture.


Do all liquids have the same boiling and melting point?

No, different liquids have different boiling and melting points depending on their chemical composition. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas, while the melting point is the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid. Each liquid has its own unique set of physical properties that determine its specific boiling and melting points.


What are the melting and boiling points of different substances?

At 1atm, the melting point of H2O(water) is 0 degrees celcius and the boiling point is 100 degrees celcius. Carbon dioxide's boiling point is at -25 degrees and so its meting point. Since it crystallises and sublimates, it has no liquid form. The boiling- and melting points of elements/compounds depend on the amount of pressure exerted on the element/compound. Generally, the higher the pressure, the higher the boiling and melting points. All except for water, gallium and bismuth. These substances' melting point decreases as pressure increases.


How melting and boiling points are affected by intermolecular forces?

Melting and boiling points are higher when intermolecular forces (such as hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, or London dispersion forces) are stronger. These forces hold molecules together, so more energy is required to overcome them and change the state of the substance. Conversely, weaker intermolecular forces result in lower melting and boiling points.


What is the melting and boiling point of bucky balls?

The melting point of buckyballs (C60 molecules) is approximately 590 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point is around 881 degrees Celsius. Buckyballs have high melting and boiling points due to the strong covalent bonds within the carbon structure.

Do elements compounds and mixtures have fix melting and boiling point?

Elements have fixed melting and boiling points, while compounds have varying melting and boiling points depending on their composition. Mixtures do not have fixed melting and boiling points, as they are composed of multiple substances which each have their own individual melting and boiling points.


Why are the melting and boiling points of air never given?

Air is a mixture; it doesn't have a melting or boiling point. It has a mixture of carbon dioxide, ozone, oxygen, nitrogen, helium, etc. look up those gases separately and you will get answers.


Why might you expect silicon dioxide and carbon dioxide to have similar melting and boling points?

You Ultimately would not expect them to have similar melting and boiling points.This is because Carbon Dioxide is a gas, it might have strong covalent bonds between their atoms but between their molecules they have weak intermolecular forces, therefore these forces are easily overcome during heating in lower temperaturesHowever when you look at Silicon Dioxide, it has a macromolecular structure. In other words the whole solid is actually just one molecule which its atoms are each covalently bonded to each other. Therefore since it has strong covalent bonds between them you would expect them to have extremely high melting and boiling points.Diamond is a macromolecular structure and it has a melting point of 3006 degrees centigrade. You could expect Silicon Dioxide's melting point (and boiling point) to be similarly high.


How do you identify solids at melting or boiling points?

Melting and boiling points are different for each compound or element.
