The limitation of Bayers strain theory is that he assumed that all cycloalkanes are planar.
The merit of Bayer strain theory is that it was useful in the determination of the stability of the ring.
Bayer strain theory was proposed by Adolf Baeyer to determine relative stabilities of some cycloalkanes. His theory was based on the fact that the normal angle between any pairs of carbon is 109.28
