Stability of cycloalkanes

Screenshot 2024 02 12 154435 Stability of cycloalkanes

The stability of cycloalkanes, which are cyclic hydrocarbons with only single carbon-carbon bonds, is influenced by factors such as ring strain and molecular geometry. Here’s a detailed note on the stability of cycloalkanes:  1. Ring Strain Angle Strain: Cycloalkanes with smaller rings (such as cyclopropane and cyclobutane) experience angle strain due to the deviation from … Read more
