Among H2, He, CH4 and O2, the gas which can be easily liquefied is

  • A)H2
  • B)He
  • C)CH4
  • D)O2  

Dear Student,

The greater the value of vander waal constant 'a', greater is the rease with which a gas can be liquified. Or we can say that, greater the value of a, greater is the strength of vander waal forces. 
The value of 'a' is highest for CH4, therefore, CH4 can be most easily liquified. 

Hence, the correct answer is (C)
