Q. Which of the following has maximum angle strain?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

Here cyclopropane has maximum angle strain followed by cyclobutane.

Angle strain is directly proportional to angle of deviation 'd'.

$\text{Angle} \, \text{strain} \, \propto \, \text{d} \, \propto \, \frac{\text{1}}{\text{inner} \, \text{bond} \, \text{angle}}$ .
