Q

Explain why CHF3 has a higher mp than CF4 (3)

A

CHF3 contains polar bonds,
There are permanent dipole ,

CF3 contains polar bonds but they cancel each other out due to the shape, there are van daar waals forces between them

Therefore CHF3 has strong intermolecular forces requiring more energy to break dowm
