Assertion: Trans isomers are more stable...

Assertion: Trans isomers are more stable than cis isomers
Reason: The cis isomer is the one in which two similar group are on the same side of double bond.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanations of the assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Trans isomer is more stable than cis isomer because in cis isomer, the bulky group are on the same side of the double bond. The steric repulsion of the groups makes the cis isomer less stable than the trans isomer in which the bulky groups are far apart. (They are on the opposite side of the double bond).

Draw geometrical (or cis-and trans-) isomers of the following structures and give their IUPAC names. (i) C_(2)H_(5)C CH_(3)=C CH_(3)C_(2)H_(5) (ii) CH_(3)CH_(2)CH=CHCH_(2)CH_(3) Strategy: An isomer in which two identical atoms (or groups) lie on the same sides of the double bond is called as cis isomer whereas an isomers in which identical atoms ( or groups) lie on the opposite sides of the double bond is called a trans isomer.

Classify the following alkenes and their derivatives as Z or E (i) (ii) Strategy: This method is preferable to the use of cis-trans beacuse it is not practical to identify cis and trans isomers when the four groups on C=C are different. The letter Z is used when the two high-priority substituets are on the same side of the double bond and the letter E is used when they are on the opposite sides (from the German words zusammen meaning together and entgegen meaning opposite), as shown:

    Assertion : Boiling points of cis-isomers are higher than trans - isomers. Reason : Dipole moments of cis - isomers are higher than trans - isomers.

    Assertion: is more stable than Reason: 'I' has double bonds at anti position while (II) has double bond on the same side, so (I) has lot of electronic repulsion.
