Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Critical temperature can be defined as the temperature at which a substance can exist as a liquid. Below the critical temperature, the substance will freeze and above the critical temperature, the substance will evaporate.

Note: Liquid cannot evaporate below it's critical temperature
