Draw the cis and trans structures of hex-2-ene. Which isomer will have

1.	Draw the cis and trans structures of hex-2-ene. Which isomer will have higher b.p. and why?
Answer» SOLUTION : cis-Hex-2-ene has a higher dipole moment than trans-Hex2-ene. DUE to higher dipole moment, it will have a stronger dipole-dipole interaction as COMPARED to trans-Hex-2-ene. Consequently, the cis-Hex-2-ene will have a higher BOILING POINT.
