H2 = 33.2 K (Tc)
He = 5.2 K (Tc)
On the other hand, CO2 & NH3 have strong intermolecular forces of attraction, they can be easily liquefied and their critical temperatures are high.
CO2 = 31°c or 304K (Tc)
NH3 =132°c or 405K (Tc)
Thus, higher the critical temperature (Tc) easier to liquefy the gas, lower the critical temperature (Tc) difficult to liquefy the gas.
Why critical temperature is important
