i know adsorption is in order of liquefaction of gases. so basically the question is what is the order of liquefaction of the gases?

correction- its co2.
nh3 has hydrogen bonding so it would be first for sure.
confused between co2 and ch4

oh got it.
co2 has 2 double bonds whereas ch4 has 4 single bonds. 
so nh3>co2>ch4 right?
