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

Re: CH4 vs CCL4
CCl4 has more electrons than CH4, therefore the dispersion forces are stronger, which increases the boiling point.

Re: CH4 vs CCL4
CCl4 has a greater boiling point, since Cl is bigger and therefore has greater London Dispersion forces. Therefore, it has overall stronger intermolecular forces.

Re: CH4 vs CCL4
CCl4 has more electrons and greater intramolecular forces so it has a higher boiling point
