Describe how the structure of dry ice is similar to an extended crystalline structure.

Answer

The similarity is that both have the same hybridization

Explanation

Dry ice is a molecular crystal in which the crystal lattice consists of molecules of co2. If the same compounds arrange themselves in a specific order than extended crystalline structure is formed. Similarities between dry ice and extended crystalline structure are that both have covalent bonding both are crystalline, both have organized three-dimensional structures, and both have sp3 hybridization.
