The critical temperatures of carbon diox...

The critical temperatures of carbon dioxide and methane are `31.1^(@)C` and `-81.9^(@)C`, respectively. Which of them has stronger intermolecular forces and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Higher is the critical temperature of a gas, easier is its liquefaction. This means that the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of a gas are directly
Proportional to its critical temperature. Hence, intermolecular forces of attraction are strongeer in the case of `CO_(2).`
