Answer #1

Trans isomer has the highest melting point than Cis isomer because trans molecule will have effective packing than Cis isomer and thus melting point will be higher.

So here 9-trans,12-trans-linoleic acid will have the highest melting point.

9-cis,12-trans linoleic acid and 9-trans,12-cis linoleic acid has indistinguishable melting points as it contains one trans and one Cis configuration.

Linoleic acid has the least melting point as it has Cis,Cis configuration.
