Question

Define Baeyr's Strain theory.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Strain theory, in chemistry, a proposal made in 1885 by the German chemist Adolf von Baeyer that the stability of carbocyclic compounds (i.e., those of which the molecular structure includes one or more rings of carbon atoms) depends on the amount by which the angles between the chemical bonds deviate from the value (109°28′) observed in compounds not containing such rings.
