O cannot be liquefled O can be liquefied Submit Figure 1 of 1 Provide Feedback Next > Critical point Selid Triple point 10 10 20 100 Temperature (K) 2:01 AM 0 Type here to search 1/14/2018Explanation / Answer
Ans : Can be liquefied
The critical point of neon as seen in the phase diagram is 44 K.
So if we see at temperature -240oC , i.e. 33K , and pressure 1 atm , neon exists as gas. This gas when compressed (applied high pressure) , changes into its liquid form.
