CH4 vs CCL4

[Alex_Lee_1K]

Hello,

In CH₄ vs CCl₄, the boiling point for CCl₄ is greater. Could someone explain why that is the case?

Thanks

CCl4 has more electrons than CH4, therefore the dispersion forces are stronger, which increases the boiling point.

[Kavya Anand 2B]

CCl4 has a greater boiling point, since Cl is bigger and therefore has greater London Dispersion forces. Therefore, it has overall stronger intermolecular forces.

[Omeed Kalan]

That is because CCL4 has more electrons I believe

[Chris Korban 1D]

CCl4 has more electrons and greater intramolecular forces so it has a higher boiling point

[Lizzy Bulla 3K]

CCl4 has more electrons so it would have a higher boiling point

Less electrons means lower boiling point and CH4 has less.
