Homework Statement



Compare the critical temperature of dioxygen and water.


The Attempt at a Solution



I don't know what critical temperature means here. If someone could tell me what that means, I am pretty sure I could answer the question.

Ouch. The critical temperature of water will be higher than that of dioxygen cause of hydrogen bonding. Right? Kinda dumb... don't know what I was thinking of...physics probably...
