Re: Textbook problem 4G.5
The cis configuration will have more distinct orientations, which means it has to have greater disorder.

The cis configuration has 12 unique arrangements where the red atoms could be, whereas the trans configuration only has 3 unique arrangements. Because the cis has more arrangements/microstates, it would have a higher residual entropy.
