$R$$154.3$
$S$$126$

From the above data,what would be the order of liquefaction of these gases? Start writing the order from the gas liquefying first.

Assertion : At critical temperature,liquid passes into gaseous state imperceptibly and continuously.
Reason : The density of liquid and gaseous phase is equal at critical temperature.
