Question

1· Hydrate of cyclopropanone is more stable because –
(a) the angle strain in cyclopropanone hydrate decreases.
(b) sp3 carbon changes to sp2?
(c) oxygen is electron donating atom.
(d) none of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) the angle strain in cyclopropanone hydrate decreases.

: Cyclopropanone is particularly strained because the sp2 carbonyl carbon would like a bond angle of 120°—there is '60° of strain. ' In the hydrate that carbon atom is sp3 hybridized and so there is only about '49° of strain. ' Not much gain, but the hydrate is more stable than the ketone.

Answer 2

Answer:

none of these

Explanation:

all of these
