Ring strain

In organic chemistry, ring strain is a type of instability that exists when bonds in a molecule form angles that deviate from their normal values as a result of being part of a ring. This type of strain is most commonly discussed for small rings such as cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes, whose internal angles are substantially smaller than the idealized…
