Identify the correct statements with respect to cis/trans-2butene from the following
I. cis-2-Butene is more polar than trans - 2 Butene
II. melting point of cis- 2- Butene is greater than that of trans- 2- Butene
III. boiling point of cis- 2- Butene is greater than that of trans- 2-Butene
Correct answer is

  1. A I, II only
  2. B II, III only
  3. C I, III only
  4. D I, II, III
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) I, III only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

cis-2-Butene is more polar than trans-2-butene as the bond dipole moment gets cancelled out in trans-2butene. Thus, Statement I is correct. Due to polar nature, cis-2-butene boils at a higher temperature. Thus, III is correct. Due to symmetric structure, the melting point of…
