Question:
Which of the following statements regarding cycloalkanes is wrong?
- Any disubstituted cycloalkane can have cis-trans isomers.
- The planar form of any cycloalkane with a ring larger than cyclopropane will not be the most stable conformation.
- Cyclopentane is non planar to avoid the torsional strain between adjacent C-H bonds.
- 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.
