Name one chemical element that has the highest boiling point?

Answer: The boiling point of Xenon is the highest.

Because there are more electrons in the molecules as you move down the periodic table, there is more distortion and the frequency and magnitude of transient dipoles increases. As a result, the Van der Waal forces between molecules become stronger, and the melting and boiling temperatures increase as the group progresses.
