When nitrogen is subjected to a pressure increase from 1 atm1\,\text{atm} to 100 atm100\,\text{atm} at its boiling point, the density of the liquid increases by about 5%5\%, whereas the density of the gas increases by about 800%800\%. Rank the solid, liquid, and gas phases of nitrogen from strongest to weakest average intermolecular forces and justify your ranking using the compressibility information provided.
