Strain theory is a sociological and criminological concept theorised by Robert Merton.
It derives from Émile Durkheim’s theory of anomie, which is a state of so-called “normlessness” where social norms have eroded and that those who experience such a state are more likely to partake in anti-social behaviour or even crime in order to either satisfy their needs or simply as a result of their condition. It is a breach of “normal” society or the order that has been created and thus anomie is literally rebellion.
Merton adapted this into his own theory of strain, which is experienced by those whose material conditions, such as their economic standing and the possessions that they own, do not match up with their expectations. For instance, someone who does not have enough money to buy the new iPhone while surrounded by advertisements for it are likely to experience strain.
Their real-life position is at odds with what society says their life should look like or at least reflect and thus strain, like anomie, may lead that individual to act in a way in which their strain is alleviated - possibly, but not always, through crime.

Hello...
Adolf Baeyer proposed a theory to explain the relative stability of cycloalkanes. The limitations of Baeyer's theory are:
1. Baeyer was unable to explain the effect of angle strain in Larger Ring System.
2. Baeyer proposed that the cyclopentane should be much Stable than cyclohexane but cyclohexane has zero angle strain.
3. Larger ring systems are not possible but they exist and highly stable.
Hope it helped.
