Optical isomers are nonsuperimposable mirror images. ( Superimposable means that if one structure is laid over the other, the positions of all the atoms will match.) Like geometric isomers, optical isomers come in pairs. However, the optical isomers of a compound have identical physical and chemical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, dipole moment, and chemical reactivity toward molecules that are not optical isomers themselves. Optical isomers differ from each other in their interactions with plane-polarized light, as we will see. 

Cis-trans alkenes have different physical properties m.p., b.p., solubility, and etc. 1) Os-isomer usually has larger dipole moment and hence higher boiling point.

The causes of intermolecular forces among charged and polar particles are easy to understand, but it s less obvious how such forces arise among nonpolar molecules or the individual atoms of a noble gas. Benzene (C6H6), for example, has zero dipole moment and therefore experiences no dipole-dipole forces. Nevertheless, there must be some intermolecular forces present among benzene molecules because the substance is a liquid rather than a gas at room temperature, with a melting point of 5.5°C and a boiling point of 80.1°C. 

Dipole-dipole attractions also contribute to the relatively high boiling points of alcohols and ethers. The polarized C—O and H—O bonds and the nonbonding electrons add to produce a dipole moment of 1.69 D in ethanol, compared with a dipole moment of only 0.08 D in propane. In liquid ethanol, the positive and negative ends of these dipoles align to produce attractive interactions. 

The gas recommended is hydrogen chloride, HCI, because it has a large permanent dipole moment and because it has a boiling point low enough (-83.7°C) to permit measurements of dielectric constant to be made down to Dry Ice temperature (-78.5°C) if the option of measuring the dielectric constant at more than one temperature is chosen. 

The solid (m.p. 173 ) is remarkably stable, and is unaffected by NaOH and HCl even at the boiling point. The complex is diamagnetic, has zero dipole moment, and all its CH bonds are alike It has a sandwich structure with the iron atom lying between two pentagons (Wilkinson, Rosenblum,...
