Answer:
Explanation:
ASSERTION
Cyclohexane is the most stable Cycloalkane.
REASON
Cyclopropane and cyclobutane are less stable due to angle strain and torsional strain.

VIDEO EXPLANATION
ANSWER
Cyclohexane is the most stable cycloalkane. Cyclopropane and cyclobutane are less stable due to angle strain and torsional strain.
The ideal bond angle 109
0
28' but in cycloalkanes this angle is mathematically 180-(360/n) where n is the number of atoms making ring. for example Cyclopropane, angle is 60
0
; in Cyclobutane it is 90
0
and so on.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
