Because of this electron cloud,there is a lot of repulsion between molecules because of which intermolecular distance increases and intermolecular forces weaken and thus boiling point decreases. ... That's why, in spite of being non-polar CCl4 has higher boiling point than CHCl3.

Answer:
The boiling point is directly proportional to the van der Waals' forces between the atoms/molecules. More is the force of attraction, higher is the temperature required to overcome these binding force and higher will be the boiling point.
