  • Gases That Don't Condense at -200°C: Helium & More
    Here's the breakdown:

    * Air is a mixture of gases. The most abundant are nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), with smaller amounts of argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO2), and others.

    * Condensation is the process where a gas changes into a liquid. This happens when the temperature of the gas drops below its boiling point.

    * Boiling points vary widely between gases.

    At -200°C (-328°F), the following will *not* condense:

    1. Helium (He): Helium has the lowest boiling point of all elements (-268.9 °C or -452 °F). It will remain a gas even at extremely low temperatures.

    2. Neon (Ne): Neon has a boiling point of -246.08 °C (-410.9 °F). It will also remain a gas at -200 °C.

    Important Note: While the other gases in air would likely condense at -200°C, this is an extremely low temperature. You would need specialized equipment to reach this temperature.
