Gases possess characteristic critical temperature which depends upon the magnitude of intermolecular forces between the particles. Following are the critical temperatures of some gases:
$Gases$$Critical \ temperature \ in \ Kelvin$
$P$$33.2$
$Q$$5.3$
$R$$154.3$
$S$$126$

From the above data,what would be the order of liquefaction of these gases? Start writing the order from the gas liquefying first.
