The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is option (C): B, C & D only
Structure
Melting point of trans alkene is greater than cis alkene
Boiling point of cis alkene is greater than trans alkene
Br2 adds easily to cis alkene than trans alkene.
A is cis – but – 2 ene and B is trans – but – 2-ene.
A is more soluble due to its polarity.

Dihydrogen

Dihydrogen is the homonuclear diatomic molecule built from two hydrogen atoms. This molecule characterizes a covalent bond between two hydrogen atoms, satisfying each of their required pair configurations.

Structure of Dihydrogen:

The dihydrogen molecule characterizes a single covalent bond between the two hydrogen atoms that comprise it. This molecule has a linear shape and is nonionic in nature. Each hydrogen atom comes up with one electron towards the covalent bond.

Properties of Dihydrogen:

  • At Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP), dihydrogen exists in the gaseous state.
  • The melting point of H2 is 13.99 Kelvin. Transforming this value to the celsius scale, the melting point of dihydrogen can be expressed as -259.16 degrees celsius.
  • The boiling point correlated with dihydrogen corresponds to 20.271 on the Kelvins scale. Transforming this value into the celsius scale, the boiling point of H2 can be represented as -252.879 degrees celsius.
  • The latent heat of fusion associated with the H2 molecule correlates to 0.117 kilojoules per mole.
  • The latent heat of vaporization (also known as the enthalpy of vaporization) of dihydrogen is equivalent to 0.904 kilojoules per mole.
