Which of the following statements are correct?
(i) Cis form of alkene is polar whereas trans form is non-polar
(ii) Cis form of alkene is non-polar whereas trans form is polar.
(iii) In case of solid alkenes the trans isomer has higher melting point than the cis isomer.
(iv) Cis and trans both form have same properties.
(i) Cis form of alkene is polar whereas trans form is non-polar
(ii) Cis form of alkene is non-polar whereas trans form is polar.
(iii) In case of solid alkenes the trans isomer has higher melting point than the cis isomer.
(iv) Cis and trans both form have same properties.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
(i) and (iii)
Option A ((i) and (iii)) is correct because cis alkenes are generally polar, trans alkenes are non-polar, and trans isomers of solid alkenes have higher melting points due to better packing.

Which statement is false?
Assertion (A) In comparison to ethyl chloride, it is not easy to carry outnucleophilic substitution on vinyl chloride.
Reason (R) Vinyl group is an electron donating. If 2-oxopropanal and methanal are obtained by the reductive ozonolysis of compound (A), then the number of -bonds presents in Fischer-Tropsch process is used in the manufacture of:
