Which of the following statements is incorrect?

  • A
    It is not possible to compress a gas at a temperature lower than $T_c$.
  • B
    At temperatures lower than $T_c$,molecules are close enough that attractive forces become effective,leading to condensation.
  • C
    Condensation is not possible above $T_c$.
  • D
    At temperatures higher than $T_c$,the kinetic energy of gas molecules is high,and the attraction between them decreases.
