Two different gases $A$ and $B$ are filled in separate containers of equal capacity under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. On increasing the pressure slightly,gas $A$ liquefies,but gas $B$ does not liquefy even on applying high pressure until it is cooled. Explain this phenomenon.

Gases possess characteristic critical temperature which depends upon the magnitude of intermolecular forces between the gas particles. Critical temperatures of ammonia and carbon dioxide are $405.5 \ K$ and $304.10 \ K$ respectively. Which of these gases will liquefy first when you start cooling from $500 \ K$ to their critical temperature?
