Answer:

Nitrogen liquefies at -195.8°C at room temperature.

At -182.95°C, the periodic table equivalent (oxygen) boils.

The boiling point of nitrogen is lower because there are fewer interactions between nitrogen molecules (N2).

The degree of electron fluctuation within a molecule affects interactions between non-polar molecules.

Van der Waals forces are the oldest sort of intermolecular contact, named after Dutch chemist Johannes van der Waals.

The Van der Waals forces, which include dipole-dipole and dispersion forces, are the weakest intermolecular forces.
