Chapter 1.9, Problem 19CC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The greater reactivity of cyclopropane among other cyclic compounds (four-membered, five-membered) is to be explained on the basis of their bond angles.

Concept introduction:

  • The bond angle of sp3 hybridized orbitals is 109.5 .
  • The bond angles of cyclic alkane compounds cyclopropane, cyclobutane and cyclopentane are 60 , 90 and 120 respectively.
  • The bond angles of cyclic compounds increases as the numbers of bonds constituted for ring increases.
