Plz explain this point.. e least angle strain but it is not practically true. ounds the stabilit

d 24 d According to Baeyer strain theory most stabie cycloalkane shouldhe cyclopentane due least angle strain but it is not practically tr be explained by Heat of combustion ain AH combustion oc no. of C-atoms and 1 n Stability a we take its angle strain = 0.

    Bayer consider cycloalkane to be planar. So according to him cyclopentane was most stable.

    eduncle-logo-app

    But stability of cycloalkane when determined experimentally it gives different results

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir plz donot write

    eduncle-logo-app

    plz explain in terms of heat of hydrogen a.

    eduncle-logo-app

    ok

    eduncle-logo-app

    now u can write

    eduncle-logo-app

    According to Bayer cyclopentane should be more stable than cyclohexane. As he proposed the theory considering cycloalkane to be planar.

    eduncle-logo-app

    ok

    eduncle-logo-app

    ok

    eduncle-logo-app

    But heat of combustion gives different result. According to heat of combustion data it was found that cyclohexane is most stable than cyclopentane.

    eduncle-logo-app

    So where Bayer was wrong?

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir ACC. to him cyclopentane is more stable than cyclohexane

    eduncle-logo-app

    But later it was proved that cyclohexane exist in chair form so it can easily attain the bond angle of tetrahedral carbon i.e 109⁰28'. So it has zero angle strain

    eduncle-logo-app

    ok

    eduncle-logo-app

    Now any confusion

    eduncle-logo-app

    Bayer theory ek farzi theory hai. For the sake of history we study it.

    yes shweta what is your doubt here??

    eduncle-logo-app

    sir what is use of this concept here

    eduncle-logo-app

    wait explaining

    eduncle-logo-app

    in terms if heat of combustion na??

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes sir

    eduncle-logo-app

    shweta cyclobutane and cyclobutane have higher heat of combustion per Ch2 group than cyclohexane...so stability of cyclohexame is much more than cyclopentane and cyclobutane

    eduncle-logo-app

    This data suggests the value of heat of combustion of cycloalkanes

    eduncle-logo-app

    but baeyer considered the cyclopentane to be most stable by considering strain factors

    eduncle-logo-app

    but accordin to this rule as no. of carbon increases stability decreases so how cyclohexan.....

    eduncle-logo-app

    see this data...the heat of combustion per CH2 group

    eduncle-logo-app

    have you check the data shweta

    eduncle-logo-app

    see angle strain is 0 in case of cyclohexane due to its chair conformation

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes checked

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes sir

    eduncle-logo-app

    Jo picture send kiya vo Dekho

    eduncle-logo-app

    no of carbon atoms inversely related to stability

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes Shweta it is true that more the heat of combustion is more then stability decraeses...but here we consider per Ch2 group..which data suggests that it is less for cyclohexane

    eduncle-logo-app

    per ch2 likhna bhool gye

    eduncle-logo-app

    vo

    eduncle-logo-app

    yes this things keep in mind...while considering both these theories

    eduncle-logo-app

    shweta you check the data i have sent...in this you get that carbon increases heat of combustion increases...but when we find per carbon for each cycloalkanes we find it is less for cyclohexane

    eduncle-logo-app

    ok sir
