Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{SO}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{SO}_2\) is a polar molecule with strong intermolecular forces of attraction and high value of van der Waals' constant '\(a\)' Also \(\mathrm{SO}_2\) is a temporary gas that has high critical temperature. So, it can be liquified easily.
