Which of the following is correct set of physical properties of the geometrical isomers?

\( ^{CH_3}_H>C = C<_{Cl}^H\) I

\( ^{CH_3}_H>C = C<_H^{Cl}\) II

  Dipole  - B.P.  -  M.P.  -  Stability moment

(a) I > II  -  I > II  - II > I  -  I > II

(b) II > I  -  II > I  -  II > I  -  II > I

(c) I > II  -  I > II  -   I > II  -   I > II

(d) II > I  -  II > I   -  I > II  -  I > II

Correct answer: (c) I > II  -  I > II  -   I > II  -   I > II

Explanation:

In compounds

I has more dipole moment than II, hence its boiling point will be higher. Melting point depends on symmetry, therefore I has higher melting point than II. Steric crowding in II is more than in I therefore I is more stable than II.
