carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide

silicon dioxide has giant covalent structure ,
almost all directional covalent bonds need to be broken when melting ,
large amount of energy is required.
as a result, silicon dioxide has a very high melting point.
However, carbon dioxide has molecular structure, i
t is only held by weak van der Waal's forces,
so only few energy is requird foe melting
