Question

Why cyclopropane has high enthalpy of combustion than cyclobutane

Answer 1

Can anyone explain why?

If you think about it, without having the data of the heat of combustion of each type of bond, you can't really answer this question. I know that cyclopropane has a higher heat of combustion PER BOND than cyclobutane. However, that, in my sense of viewing the problem, does not prevent the fact ethylcyclobutane could have a higher heat of combustion as it is a cycloalkane with 4 bonds rather than
