-- The boiling points of the first group are all at temperatures
that are way lower than a comfortable room.
. . . . . Nitrogen . . . -320° F
. . . . . Helium . . . . -452° F
. . . . . Neon . . . . . -411° F

The freezing points of the second group are all at temperatures
that are way higher than a comfortable room.
