Question
Chapter 4, Problem 36P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given compounds are to be ranked in the increasing order of stability based on relative ring strain.
Concept introduction:
Ring strain is a type of instability that exists when bonds in a molecule form angles that are abnormal.
Ring strain is more in small ring like cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes.
The ring strain in cyclic compounds depends upon the size of alkyl groups acquired by the ring.
The strain of the compound increases when the stability of the compound decreases.
Cyclopentane is most stable than cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes due to less ring strain.

Ethylene oxide reacts readily with HO- because of the strain in the three-membered ring. Explain why cyclopropane, a compound with approximately the same amount of strain, does not react with HO-.
Rank the alkenes shown below based on stability, should be indicated as (most stable (left) to least stable right): i.e.: A > B > C > D
The compounds drawn should each contain a cyclohexane ring. For all three compounds draw a wedge and dash structure, Chair I, and Chair II conformations.
