The most striking difference, however, is that despite the similarity in their dipole moments, ethanol has a much higher boiling point than fluoroethane. This suggests that the attractive forces in ethanol are unusually strong. They are an example of a special type of... 

Figure 3.5 shows the dipole moment for ethyl fluoride (fluoroethane). The distribution of negative charge around the electronegative fluorine is plainly evident in the calculated electrostatic potential map.
