According to Baeyer's strain theory which is highly stable?
- A cyclohexane
- B cycloheptane
- C cyclopentane
- D cyclobutane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) cyclopentane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to Bacyer's strain theory, cyclopentane is highly stable as, it bas lowest angle strain. The desired angle for \(s p^{3}\) hybridised carbon in cyclopentane should be \(109^{\circ} 28\) and the actual angle is \(108^{\circ}\). Thus the angle strain is minimum.
