Solution

The correct option is B
False

Nitrogen has lower boiling point.The reason the boiling point of O₂ is higher is because the mass of a molecule of O₂ is greater than that of a molecule of N₂, so the molecule of O₂ traveling at a speed which is sufficient to break out of the liquid phase has a greater kinetic energy than an analogous N₂ molecule.
