Draw the cis and trans structures of hex-2-ene. Which isomer will have higher b.p. and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


The cis form will have higher boiling point due to more polar nature of the molecule leading to strong intermolecular dipole-dipole interactions. As a result of stronger intermolecular interactions it requires more energy to separate the molecules.
