Critical temperature for carbon dioxide ...

Critical temperature for carbon dioxide and methane are `31.1^@C` and -81.9 respectively. Which of these has stronger intermolecular forces and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

And intermolecular forces in `CO_2` molecules are more than in `CH_4` molecules because of higher critical temperature and hence greater value of ‘a’
