Calculate the angle strain of cyclobutane?

  • Answer:

    Angle strain in cyclopropane arises from the circumstance that the C-C-C angle is forced to be 60 degrees (that of an equilateral triangle), about 49 degrees less than the ideal angle for the strongest C-C bond (the strain angle is ca. 49 degrees.
