It is easier to liquefy a gas with higher critical temperature-explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The critical temperature of a gas reflects the strength of intermolecular attractive forces I the gas. A gas with a higher value of critical temperature possesses a stronger intermolecular forces of attraction. Now, the stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction in a gas, the easier it is to liquify the gas. therefore, a gas with a higher critical temperature can be liquified easily.
