Question:

Which of the following statements regarding cycloalkanes is wrong?

  1. Any disubstituted cycloalkane can have cis-trans isomers.
  2. The planar form of any cycloalkane with a ring larger than cyclopropane will not be the most stable conformation.
  3. Cyclopentane is non planar to avoid the torsional strain between adjacent C-H bonds.
  4. The least strained form of any unsubstituted cycloalkane is the chair conformation of cyclohexane.

Answer:

The correct answer is option (1).

The wrong statement regarding cycloalkanes is any disubstituted cycloalkane can have cis-trans isomer.

Explanation:

  • Disubstituted means the same carbon have two substituents.  Therefore if two substituents are present on the same carbon There is no cis-trans isomer forms.
  • Perfect tetrahedral bond angle was not present on the cycloalkanes.
  • Cycloalkanes comes under the alkane categorey and also it contains one or more carbon atom rings.
  • The planar form of any cycloalkane with a ring larger than cyclopropane will not be the most stable conformation.
  • They have the physical properties which are similar to that of alkanes. But they have higher melting point, boiling point and higher density.
  • These are mainly due to greater London force of the molecules.
  • For the ring formation, carbon-carbon bond is formed so they have fewer hydrogen atoms when compared to alkanes.
  • These cycloalkanes are mostly used in fuels like natural gas, kerosene, and also used in heavy oils.
