cis. In cis, the electronegativity is concentrated on one side of the isomer, resulting in a net dipole moment, hence it is polar. In trans, the electronegativity is cancelled out by substituent groups on opposite sides of the isomer, there is no net dipole moment, and thus, it is non polar.

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.

Do trans or cis fats have a higher melting point?

Cis fats would have a higher melting point due to tighter packing between molecules, as the chains would be unbent. Trans fats would have kinks in the fatty acid chain and this would hinder molecular packing, thus making it looser and would subsequently liquefy more easilyTrans fats are non polar while Cis fats are polar. Cis fats have strong inter molecular attractions. So melting point of cis fats are higher than trans fats.

Why trans is more stable than cis?

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.....
