Give the order of decreasing heats of combustion of cycloalkanes explaining the reason. Cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cycloctane. Please explain in detail.
Why is the heat of combustion of cycloheptane greater than cyclohexane whereas in rest of the cases it keeps decreasing. Explain in detail.

Every time a −CH2−CHX2 group is added, the heat of combustion is increased by almost 650 kJ/mol; whereas the maximum relief in ring strain attained by adding that −CH2−CHX2 group i...
