Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The dipole moment of trans-compound is the resultant of the dipole moments of C–CH3 and C–CH2CH2CH3 bonds acting in opposite directions. Hence, cis-isomer is more polar than trans-isomer. The higher the polarity, the greater is the intermolecular dipole-dipole interaction and the higher will be the boiling point.
