Between the cis and trans structures of hex-2-ene, which isomer will have higher b.p. and why?
Options
- AThe cis form will have higher boiling point due to more polar nature leading to stronger intermolecular dipole
- BThe trans isomer will have a higher boiling point because it has stronger dipole-dipole interactions due to it
- CBoth cis and trans isomers will have the same boiling point because they have the same molecular formula and s
- DThe boiling point of cis and trans isomers will depend on the specific conditions of the experiment and cannot
Correct answer
A. The cis form will have higher boiling point due to more polar nature leading to stronger intermolecular dipole
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) The cis form will have higher boiling point due to more polar nature leading to stronger intermolecular dipole–dipole interaction, thus requiring more heat energy to separate them.
