Solution

The correct option is A
True

In alkenes that show geometrical isomerism, generally boiling point of cis form is higher than trans form due to the high polarity of the cis isomer compared to its trans isomer.

For alkenes, generally boiling point of Cis form is higher than trans form - True or False?

Q. Assertion :Cis form will always have more boiling point than trans form. Reason: Boiling point depends on dipole moment, greater the dipole moment greater the boiling point.

Q. Assertion (A): The boiling point of cis-form is more than trans-form.
Reason (R): It is due to more polarity.

Q. Why boiling point of cis isomer is greater than trans isomer?

Q. Assertion :Cis-form of alkene is found to be more polar than the trans-form. Reason: Since the groups are in opposite directions in the trans-form, the dipole moments of bonds cancel each other making trans-form almost non-polar.
