The trans isomers of alkenes are usually more stable than their corresponding cis isomers.
The reason for this becomes clear if we consider the cis and trans-isomers of the alkene $ABC=CAB$ in which $`A’$ is a bulky group as compared to $`B’$ (e.g., . In the cis isomer, the two bulky $`A’$ groups are very close to each other. The repulsion due to the overlapping of the electron clouds of the two bulky $`A’$ groups will make this isomer less stable than trans isomer in which the bulky $`A’$ groups are far apart [being on the opposite sides of the double bond].
