Which of the given statement is correct?
Options
- ABoiling point of cis-But-2-ene > trans-But-2-ene
- BBoiling point of trans-But-2-ene > cis-But-2-ene
- CBoiling point of cis-But-2-ene = trans-But-2-ene
- DBoiling point cannot be predicted
Correct answer
A. Boiling point of cis-But-2-ene > trans-But-2-ene
Step-by-step solution
Dipole moment of c i s > t r a n s . More polar the molecule more is the Van der Waal force of attraction, hence greater is the boiling point.
