Carbon forms molecular compounds with some elements from group 16. two of these compounds are carbon dioxide, co2, and carbon disulfide, cs2.

carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature. at standard temperature and pressure, co2(s) changes directly to co2(g).

carbon disulfide is formed by a direct reaction of carbon and sulfur. at room temperature, cs2 is a colorless liquid with an offensive odor. carbon disulfide vapors are flammable.

59 identify one physical property and one chemical property of cs2. [1]
