Assertion (A) : Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature, even on applying high pressure.Reason (R ) : Above critical temperature, the molecular speed is high and intermolecular attractions cannot hold the molecules together because they escape because of high speed.

Assertion (A) : Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature,

1.	Assertion (A) : Gases do not liquefy above their critical temperature, even on applying high pressure.Reason (R ) : Above critical temperature, the molecular speed is high and intermolecular attractions cannot hold the molecules together because they escape because of high speed.
Answer» Both A and R are true and R is the correct EXPLANATION of A Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A A is true but R is false. A is false but R is true. Solution :Both ASSERTION and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. Gases don.t liquify above their critical temp., even an APPLYING high pressure because above critical temp., the molecular speed is high and INTERMOLECULAR attractions cannot hold the MOLECULES together.
