Intermolecular Forces

[Doreen Liu 4D]

Which has a higher boiling point? CHI3 or CHF3?

[FDeCastro_1B]

CHI3 has a higher boiling point because the atomic size is bigger which leads to the increase of the atom's surface area.

[Brooke Yasuda 2J]

CHI3 because Iodine is a larger atom which means that it has more electrons, and therefore, has stronger induced dipole induced dipole interactions.

[Jainam Shah 4I]

CHI3 would have the higher boiling point. Since Iodine is a larger atom than Fluorine it has greater polarizability and can induce stronger dipoles.

[lauraxie2e]

CHI3 because the size of it makes the forces stronger

[Avnita C_4B]

CHI3 does due to the size being greater than CHF3 so the boiling point increases for I.

[anjali41]

CHI3 has a higher boiling point because on the periodic table, Iodine is on a lower period than Fluorine. Following the periodic trends, this indicates that iodine has a larger size. With this larger size, Iodine can have stronger induced dipoles.
