A
cis-but-2-ene has a dipole moment of 0.33 Debye, whereas trans-but-2-ene has a dipole moment of approximately zero.
B
trans-but-2-ene has a dipole moment of 0.33 Debye, whereas cis-but-2-ene has a dipole moment of approximately zero.
C
Both cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene have a dipole moment of 0.33 Debye.
D
Both cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene have a dipole moment of zero.
Correct Answer
Option A
