It has got to do with the size of the atoms and their weight.

Gases are simple molecules with weak forces between molecules

All the particles move around with a certain amount of energy. This energy is what we often count as heat.

When we reduce the temperature of a gas, the particles move slower and slower, and get closer together until they start to touch at which point the gas will start to condense

This can further be helped by pressure.

Are at low temperatures ideal gases liquefy?

At low temperatures, ideal gases can liquefy if they are cooled below their critical temperatures. At temperatures below the critical temperature, the gas will condense into a liquid due to the decreased molecular motion and intermolecular forces becoming dominant over kinetic energy.


Which gas is most difficult to liquefy?

Helium is the gas that is most difficult to liquefy because it remains in a gaseous state even at extremely low temperatures. Its low boiling point and weak intermolecular forces make it challenging to convert into a liquid state.


Why is butane gas not an ideal gas?

Butane gas is not an ideal gas because it exhibits some deviation from the ideal gas law at high pressures and low temperatures. This is due to the intermolecular forces present in butane molecules that influence their behavior. Additionally, butane gas can liquefy at relatively low temperatures, further deviating from ideal gas behavior.


Is it true that above the temperature no amount of pressure will casue a gas to liquefy?

The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy.


What processes was used to achieve lower and lower temperatures toward -273?

The process of gas expansion and cooling was used to achieve lower and lower temperatures toward -273 degrees Celsius, also known as absolute zero. This involves reducing the pressure of a gas to lower its temperature through adiabatic expansion, followed by cooling through various methods such as using a refrigerant.

Why must gas shipped in the winter to the Northern states different from the gas shipped in the summer to the southern states?

Gasoline best burns when it is vaporized. Longer chain hydrocarbons, or less branched dhain hydrocarbons have a lower vapor pressure. These burn easier at higher temperatures than at cooler temperatures.
