Carbon dioxide facts
- Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas made of one carbon atom double-bonded to two oxygen atoms.
- It is released by breathing, burning fuels, and fermentation, and it is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis and used to carbonate soft drinks.
- At normal atmospheric pressure, solid carbon dioxide, known as dry ice, turns directly into a gas at about -78.5 °C without melting.
