(N/A) When pressure is applied to a gas,the particles are forced closer together. As the distance between the particles decreases,the intermolecular forces of attraction become strong enough to hold the particles together. During this process,the particles lose kinetic energy in the form of heat,leading to a change in state from gaseous to liquid. This process is known as the liquefaction of gases. By using this method,a large volume of gas can be compressed into a small cylinder for storage and transport.
