Two isomers of the planar compound 1,2-dichloroethylene are shown here, along with their melting and boiling points. Melting point (0C) Boiling point (C) cis isomer -80.5 60.3 trans isomer -49.8 47.5 (a) Which of the two isomers will have the stronger dipole-dipole forces? Is this prediction borne out by the data presented here? (b) Based on the data presented here, which isomer packs more efficiently in the solid phase?
