Question

Postulates of baeyer's strain theory in simple form

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of deviation is the measure of the strain of the ring: the greater the strain, the less stable is the ring.

Baeyer postulated that these rings are planar and concluded that strain exists in three- and four-membered rings and in rings of six or more atoms, the strain increasing with the size of the ring

Answer 2

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
