Question

What is the difference in the properties of geometrical cis and transisomers? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Difference in the properties of geometrical cis and transisomers : -

(1) Cis and trans geometrical isomers have different physical properties like melting point, boiling point, etc.

(2) They have similar chemical properties.

(3) Their reactivities may be different.

(4) In cisisomers due to spatial crowding of atoms or groups of atoms, there arises intramolecular repulsion. Hence, transisomer is more stable than cisisomer.
