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.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
