Which among the following gases liquefy easily?
  1. oxygen

Solution

Gases that are liquefied using the pressure method are chlorine, $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ etc. Permanent gases such as $\mathrm{H}_{2}, \mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{~N}_{2}$ and real gases cannot be liquefied easily by the processes of compressing, cooling or applying pressure.
