Gaseous state
Question

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

GasesH2HeO2N2
Critical temperature in Kelvin33.25.3154.3126

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

Moderate
Solution

Higher the critical temperature, more easily is the gas liquefied.
Hence, order of liquefaction starting with the gas liquefying first will be O2, N2, H2, He.
