Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Cis form of alkene is found to be more polar than the trans form
Reason (R): Dipole moment of trans isomer of 2-butene is zero.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Select the correct option:
A
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
B
(A) is true but (R) is false
C
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
D
(A) is false but (R) is true
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
Dipole moment is a vector quantity and for compound net dipole moment is the vector sum of all dipoles hence dipole moment of cis form is greater than trans form.
