That answer assumes the A/C is to be installed in a residential installation, because the service voltage is 240.
The length of wire-run should also be factored-in when deciding the correct wire size.
To get the right answers refer to the Wiring Codes or Regulations for your locality. (Town/State.)

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What gauge of wire do i need for my 220 volt 100 amp breaker?
For a 220 volt 100 amp breaker, you would typically need a wire gauge of 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or larger. It is recommended to consult with a professional electrician to ensure the proper gauge is used for your specific installation.
Can you use 12 gauge wire with 600 volt capacity to hook up an 300 amp 220 volt dryer?
I wouldn't, always safer to go heaver gauge. I recommend 8 gauge if you are going to be running any length of wire. Fire is never fun I believe the above answer assumes the question was meant to read, "30 amp 220 volt dryer." 12 gauge wire WILL NOT carry 30 amps safely. You need to run #10 copper minimum. It is never a bad idea to upsize, such as the recommended #8, but it is not necessary if 30 amps is what you need.
