Question

Statement 1 : The molecule cis- $1$ -chloropropene is more polar than trans-$1$-chloropropene.
Statement 2 : The magnitude of resultant vector in trans- $l$-chloro-propene is non-zero.

• A. If both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are true and the statement $2$ is the correct explanation of the statement $1$
• B. If both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are true but statement $2$ is not the correct explanation of the statement $1$
• C. If Statement $1$ is true but Statement $2$ is false
• D. If Statement $1$ is false but Statement $2$ is true

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both $cis$- and $trans$-forms are polar. Trans is more polar due to higher value of dipole moment due to additive nature of $CH_3$ and $Cl$ vectors.
