Gases possess characteristic critical temperature which depends upon the magnitude of intermolecular forces between the particles. Following are the critical temperatures of some gases.

            Gases

Critical temperature in Kelvin

H2

33.2

He

5.3

O2

154.3

N2

126

From the above data what would be the order of liquefaction of these gases? Start writing the order from the gas liquefying first

(i) H2, He, O2, N2 

(ii) He, O2,  H2, N2

This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Option (iv) O2, N2, H2, He

Higher the critical temperature of gases more easily, the gas will be liquefied. So, the order of liquefying of gases will be  O2 > N2 > H2 >He.
