Structure of Cyclic Alkanes

Question 1

Does cyclopropane high or low energy and how does that compare to its angle strain

Answer 1

Had a high energy 697 due to a high angle strain, the H are eclipsed

Question 2

Does cyclobutane high or low energy and how does that compare to its angle strain

Answer 2

Has a high energy 680 but not the highest since it does not have as strong of an angle strain but still an eclipsed Hs

Question 3

Does cyclopentane high or low energy and how does that compare to its angle strain

Answer 3

It has a lower energy 680 due to angle strain going away and the ability for the molecules to bend and spread out from each other
Staggered and Eclipsed happening

Question 4

Does cycloheptane high or low energy and how does that compare to its angle strain

Answer 4

It is at an even lower energy 658 due to there being even more room for the molecule to be able to spread out but there is still staggered and eclipsed happening
