d) the critical temperature and inversion temperature of oxygen is very low

Q. When a system absorbs heat,the molecules start moving faster because kinetic energy increases,hence disorder increases. For the same amount of heat absorbed at lower temperature,the disorder is more than at higher temperature.why?explain.

Q. Assertion :A gas with higher critical temperature is adsorbed more than a gas with lower critical temperature. Reason: Higher critical temperature implies that the gas is more easily liquefiable.
