The deviation from ideal values of bond angles and bond lengths determines strain in a molecule. Three types of strain are angle strain, steric strain, and torsional strain.
Angle strain in a molecule is determined by the Baeyer’s strain theory. Deviation from actual tetrahedral bond angle is the reason for the angle strain.
Steric effect is determined by the interaction between the substituent. If the bulky groups are in close proximity of each other then, the compound will be unstable due to overcrowding of the substituents.
Torsional strain is determined by the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons. It is also known as eclipsing strain as it is also present in the molecule having eclipsing conformation due to overcrowding of the electron pair on the substituents. Due to torsional strain the potential energy of the conformation increases.

6. Build the cyclobutane ring and study the angle strain and torsional strain. Draw the structures to explain these factors. 7. The conformation of cyclobutane is slightly folded. Folding gives partial relief from the eclipsing of bonds, as shown in the Newman projection. Compare this actual structure with the hypothetical planar structure. Draw the relevant structures. 8. trans-1,2-Dimethylcyclobutane is more stable than cis-1,2-dimethylcyclobutane, but cis-1,3- dimethylcyclobutane is more stable than trans-1,3-dimethylcyclobutane. Use the molecular models to find the reasons for...
Observations. нь со скрипис 9. Build the cyclopentane ring and study the angle strain and torsional strain in the ring. Draw the structures to explain these factors. Cyclopentane actually assumes a slightly puckered "envelope" conformation that reduces the eclipsing and lowers the torsional strain. Convince yourself about this fact. Provide the relevant drawings. 10. Build the cyclohexane ring and study the angle strain and torsional strain. Build the chair and boat conformations and identify the axial and equatorial bonds. Also...
