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$$H_2$$He$$O_2$$N_2$
$Critical \ temperature \ (K)$$33.2$$5.3$$154.3$$126$

From the above data,what would be the decreasing order of liquefaction of these gases?

  • A
    $H_2 > He > O_2 > N_2$
  • B
    $He > O_2 > H_2 > N_2$
  • C
    $N_2 > O_2 > H_2 > He$
  • D
    $O_2 > N_2 > H_2 > He$
