Which is/are true for the above isomeric forms I and II respectively?

Options

A. Polarity (I). More , (II). Less
B. boiling point
(I). Less, (II). More
C. Solubility (in `H_(2)O`)
(I). More, (II). Less
D. `DeltaH("hydrogenation")`
(I). Less
(II). More

Answer

B

Explanation

Ciis form in this case is more polar than trans, hence has higher boiling point ad greater solubility in water, whereas trans form being more stable has less heat of hydrogenation.
