Because , Cis isomer are same group on same side of the c=c bond . & those are bulky group on the same side , they are formed steric repulsion to each other then Cis isomer are less stable than trans isomer is same group of opposite side of c=c bond no formation of steric repulsion to each other. and trans isomer is more stable than Cis isomer.....

because trans have opposite side c=c bond and cis have same side c=c bond so cis have more repulsion than trans...

Why are there three isomers of dibenzalacetone?
those are defined by position of double bonds, the possible one,s are cis-cis,cis-trans,trans-trans.
Why the trans-benzalacetophenone isomer is major product in aldol condensation?
because trans is more stable than cis since there is reduced interaction between the groups
Why is cis-2-butene less stable than trans-2-butene?
Steric hindrance between the two methyl groups.
Is cis-trans confirmation or configuration?
Cis and trans are configuration.
Is C8H16 cis or trans?
cis
How stable are cis-trans isomerisms?
The cis-trans isomerism tend to be very stable. Typically, trans isomers are more stable however, an exception lies in cis-trans isomers which makes them more stable than trans isomers.
Which is most stable a cis-decalin or a trans-decalin?
Trans-decalin is more stable.
Which one is more stable cis-polyisoprene or trans-polyisoprene?
cis-polyisoprene

What is gauche-butane interaction in cis-decalin and trans- decalin?
trans decalin is more stable, because it doesnt have interaction 1,3 of hydrogen.
Why 13-cis lycopene more stable than 7-cis and 11-cis?
Because the molecular energy is higher in the 13-cis than 7 & 11-cis.
Why is cis-2-butene less stable than trans-2-butene?
Steric hindrance between the two methyl groups.
What does a cis-isomer look like?
cis/trans isomerism (also known as geometric isomerism) is a form of stereo isomerism describing the relative orientation of functional groups within a molecule. The terms cis and trans are from Latin, in which cis means "on the same side" and trans means "on the other side" or "across". Usually, for acyclic systems trans isomers are more stable than cis isomers. This is typically due to the increased unfavorable steric interaction of the substituents in the cis isomer. Therefore, trans isomers have a less exothermic heat of combustion, indicating higher thermochemical stability.trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexanecis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane
Is cis-trans confirmation or configuration?
Cis and trans are configuration.
How can you differ from cis- and trans potassium dioxalatodiaquachromat?
According to studies, Cis and Trans potassium dioxalatodiaquachromat differ by the trans potassium form being less soluble than that of Cis, therefore it differs in chemistry relating to the absorption spectrum.
Is C8H16 cis or trans?
cis
