An ideal gas can't be liquefied because
Options
- Aits critical temperature is always above 0^ C
- Bits molecules are relativelysmaller in size
- Cit solidifies before becoming a liquid
- Dforces operated between its molecules are negligible
Correct answer
D. forces operated between its molecules are negligible
Step-by-step solution
In an ideal gas, the intermolecular forces of attraction are negligible and hence it cannot be liquefied.
