    Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as

    Assertion: Boiling points of ci5-isomers are higher than trans-isomers. Reason: Dipole moments of cis-isomers are higher than trans -isomers.

    A)  If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion

    B)  If both Assertion and Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

    C)  If Assertion is true but Reason is false

    D)  If both Assertion and Reason are false

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Boiling points of isomeric compounds depends on dipole-dipole interactions and cis-isomers have greater dipole moments (more polar) than trans-isomers (less polar).
