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

Explanation:

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$), composed of carbon (C) and oxygen (O). Carbon and oxygen are nonmetals. Nonmetals are on the right side of the periodic table (excluding noble gases in some cases), while metals are on the left and metalloids are between metals and nonmetals. So the elements in dry ice are with nonmetals.

Answer:

B. with the nonmetals
