Solution

The correct option is B O2<N2<CH4<NH3
The correct order of normal boiling points of O2, N2, NH3 and CH4, (for whom the values of van der Waal's constant a are 1.360, 1.390, 4.170 and 2.253 L2.atm mol2 respectively) is O2<N2<CH4<NH3.
Higher is the value of van der Waal's constant a, higher will be the boiling point as a is an indirect measure of the magnitude of attractive forces between the molecules.
