We can compare the acidities of acids by examining the stabilities of their conjugate bases.
#"HA" ⇌ "H"^"+" + A^"-"#
The more stable the anion, the greater the acidity will be.
We have the equilibria
#"Cl"_3"C-H" ⇌ "H"^"+" + "Cl"_3"C:"^"-"#
and
#"F"_3"C-H" ⇌ "H"^"+" + "F"_3"C:"^"-"#
#"F"# is highly electronegative, so we would expect it to stabilize the negative charge on the carbanion and make fluoroform the stronger acid.
This is NOT what we observe!
The #"p"K_"a"# of fluoroform is 30.5, while the #"p"K_"a"# of chloroform is 24.4.
Chloroform is a stronger acid them fluoroform by six orders of magnitude!
The explanation is that #"C"# and #"F"# atoms are about the same size.
Thus, the lone pairs on #"F"# are quite close to the lone pair on the carbanion.
The cumulative lone pair-lone pair electron repulsions destabilize the carbanion.
In chloroform, the #"Cl"# atoms can still stabilize by the inductive effect, but the #"Cl"# atoms are much bigger.
The lone pairs on the #"Cl"# are so far away that lone pair-lone pair electron repulsion is much less than in fluoroform.
Thus, the #"Cl"_3"C:"^"-"# ion is more stable and #"HCCl"_3# is the stronger acid.
