Difference between cis and trans isomers

Cis isomers Trans isomers

 In cis isomers bulky groups are
on the same side of double bond
due to which they offers large
stearic repulsion hence less
stable
 In cis isomers bulky groups are
on the same side of double bond
due to this unsymmetrical
structure, it is less likely to
cancel polarity of each other
hence polar in nature
 As they are less stable so easily
donate proton hence have high
acidic strength
 As because of its polar nature
besides london it also have
dipole induced dipole forces so
because of such dipole dipole
forces its boiling point is high
 As because of its large stearic
repulsion, in solid form possess
irregular packing due to which
have low melting point
 As they are less stable so cis-acid
easily form anhydride
 In trans isomers bulky groups
are on the opposite side of
double bond due to which they
offers less stearic repulsion
hence more stable
 In trans isomers bulky groups
are on the opposite side of
double bond due to this
symmetrical structure, bulky
groups cancel polarity of each
other hence non-polar in nature
 As they are more stable so resist
to donate proton hence have
less acidic strength
 As because of its non-polar
nature, only possess london
forces so because of absence
dipole dipole forces its boiling
point is low
 As because of its low stearic
repulsion, in solid form possess
good regular packing due to
which have high melting point
 As they are more stable so first
trans-acid is first converted into
cis-acid than form anhydride
