Suggest a method to liquefy atmospheric gases.

Solution

In liquid, the particles are closer to each other and have lower kinetic energy than gases. When pressure is applied to gas particles they move closer and loose K.E. and thus change to their liquid state. It is possible to liquefy any gas. i.e., convert gas into liquid by increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature.
