Assertion : Boiling points of cis-isomer...

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

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 but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Boiling points of isomeric compounds depend on dipole–dipole interactions and cis–isomers have greater dipole moment (more polar) than trans–isomers (less polar).
