Draw the cis-and trans-structures for hex-2-ene. Which isomer will have higher b.p. and why ?

Answer»

Solution :The STRUCTURES of cis-and trans-isomer of hex-2-ene are :

The boiling point of a molecule DEPENDS upon dipole-dipole interactions. Since cis-isomer has HIGHER dipole moments , THEREFORE, it has higher boiling point.
