Question:

Identify the correct statements with respect to cis / trans-2-butene from the following
I. cis-2-Butene is more polar than trans - 2 Butene
II. melting point of cis-2-Butene is greater than that of trans -2- Butene
III. boiling point of cis-2- Butene is greater than that of trans - 2- Butene

Show Hint

To distinguish cis-trans isomers, remember that cis isomers tend to have higher polarity and different physical properties like melting and boiling points.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

- I: \text{cis-2-butene is more polar than trans-2-butene.}
- II: \text{The melting point of cis-2-butene is greater than that of trans-2-butene.}
- III: \text{Boiling point of cis-2-butene is greater than that of trans-2-butene.}
Thus, all three statements are correct.
