Trans isomer is more stable than cis isomer. Justify this statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Trans isomer is more stable than cis isomer. This is because in the cis isomer, the bulky groups are on the same side of the double bond. The steric repulsion of the groups makes the cis isomers less stable than the trans isomers in which bulky groups are on the opposite side.
