Question

27. Hydrate of cyclopropanone is more stable because -
(a) the angle strain in cyclopropanone hydrate decreases.
(b) sp carbon changes to sp
(c) oxygen is electron donating atom.
(d) none of these​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

Hydrate of cyclopropanone is more stable because :-

a) The angle strain in cyclopropanone Hydrate decreases.

b) sp2 carbon changes to sp3✔️✔️✔️

c) oxygen is Electron donating atom

d) none of these
