Which consequence results when liquid ammonia exceeds its critical temperature?

💡 Explanation

Above the critical temperature, thermal energy disrupts cohesive intermolecular forces; therefore the hydrogen bonding network collapses because the average kinetic energy overwhelms the relatively weak hydrogen bonds, rather than other electronic effects becoming dominant.
