Question

Does CF4 or CBr4 have a higher boiling point

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

CF4 has a higher boiling point compared to CBr4.

This is because CF4 is a nonpolar molecule, and CBr4 is a polar molecule. Nonpolar molecules tend to have weaker intermolecular forces, such as London dispersion forces, compared to polar molecules which can have dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding. The stronger intermolecular forces in CF4 result in higher boiling points compared to CBr4.
