← ScienceWhich mechanism dictates bond strength in cycloalkane rings?
A)Baeyer strain theory✓
B)Resonance stabilization effect
C)Van der Waals repulsion
D)Inductive electron donation
💡 Explanation
Ring strain arises from the angles between bonds not being ideal, triggering Baeyer strain theory predicting instability; angular strain raises the molecule's energy because orbital overlap is weakened, therefore it is the answer rather than electronic effects.
