Answer:

Fluoromethane has a higher boiling point than ethane due to the high permanent dipole moment of the molecule.

Explanation:

Fluorine is a highly electronegative atom because of this it shows a large dipole on the molecule.  When a molecule with a high dipole-dipole attraction is heated, a certain amount of heat is required to overcome the intermolecular attraction between the molecules before it boils. Therefore the molecule will have a high boiling point.
