Why does tetrachloromethane have a higher boiling point than trichloromethane?
London dispersion forces (LDF) are present in all molecules, whether polar or non-polar. Molecules also exhibiting dipole-dipole interactions (in addition to the LDF) must have stronger forces of...

You also need to account for the difference in dispersion forces between the two molecules. Chlorine is much larger than hydrogen. Therefore tetrachloromethane has a larger molecular surface area which...

tetrachloromethane has a higher mollecular mass than that of trichloromethane i.e tetrachloromethane has a Rmm=154 and trichloromethane has a Rmm=118.5thus the heavier the mollecule the greater the...

Chloroform numerically has a relatively strong dipole moment, but the negative charge is distributed over three large chlorine atoms.The positively charged hydrogen atom finds nothing it could really...
