Assertion (A) Cyclohexane is the most stable cycloalkane.
Reason (R) Cyclopropane and cyclobutane are less stable due to angle strain and torsional strain.
The correct answer is

A

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

B

(A) is true but (R) is not true

C

(A) is not true but (R) is true

D

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Cyclohexane is the most stable cycloalkane because cyclohexane has low heat of combustion. Cyclopropane and cyclobutane are reactive cycloalkanes because these are less stable due to angle strain and torsional strain.

Assertion (A) Propene on addition with hydrogen bromide in the presence of peroxide gives 1-bromopropane as the major product. Reason (R ) 1-bromopropane is the major product because it is formed through the stable carbocation. The correct answer is

Stereoisomers, which can be interconverted simply by rotation about sigma bonds, are conformational isomers while those, which can be converted only by breaking and remaking of bonds and not simply by rotation, are called configurational isomers. The angle between C-C and C – H bonds on adjacent carbon atoms in any conformation is called dihedral angle. The cyclic compounds most commonly found in nature containing six membered rings can exist in a conformation that is almost completely free of strain. The most stable conformation of cyclohexane is chair form. According to Bayer strain theory, the greater deviation from the normal tetrahedral angle, greater is the angle strain or torsional strain and hence lesser is the stability of the cycloalkane. Which among the following conformation of cyclohexane is the most stable form ?
