Question
Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule. Why? Select all that apply.
Why is cyclopropane highly strained?
The bond angles of cyclopropane are 120°, leading to angle strain
The cyclopropane CH₂ groups are staggered with each other, leading to torsional strain
The bond angles of cyclopropane are 60°, leading to angle strain
The cyclopropane CH₂ groups are eclipsed with each other, leading to torsional strain
The cyclopropane ring is unable to pucker and relieve some angle strain
