Cyclic Compounds
‣ Ring Strain
‣ Angle Strain: the strain due to bond angles being forced to expand or contract from their ideal.
‣ Torsional Strain: the strain due to electron repulsion of eclipsing bonds.
‣ Steric Strain: the strain due to atoms coming too close.
13
Cyclic Compounds
‣ Heat of Combustion: the amount of heat (energy) released when a molecule burns completely with oxygen.
