Why isn't flourine the substance with the highest boiling point if it's the most electronegative element?

I was confused as to why tungsten is considered to have the highest boiling point compared to flourine that has a very low one (according to some online sources). What determines the differences in boiling points between elements?

That's because the melting point has nothing to do with electronegativity. It's about the intermolecular bond strength. Fluorine as a molecule is unpolar, which means that the bonds between the molecules are mostly Van-der-Waals type, which are quite weak.
