List the following compounds in order of increasing boiling point: Cl₄, CBr₄, CCl₄, CF₄.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boiling point generally increases with molecular weight and stronger intermolecular forces. CF₄ has the lowest boiling point due to weak dispersion forces and low molecular weight. CCl₄ and CBr₄ have higher boiling points due to increased molecular weight and stronger dispersion forces. Cl₄ is not a valid compound, but assuming it refers to a hypothetical compound, it would likely have a higher boiling point than CF₄ but lower than CBr₄.
