Respuesta :
Cyclohexane have the smallest strain energy
(kj/mol)
This chair conformation is the lowest energy conformation for cyclohexane with an overall ring strain of 0 kJ/mol.
What is Strain energy ?
When a molecule's chemical structure is stressed, it experiences strain, which increases the internal energy of the molecule relative to a strain-free reference substance. All the energy that a molecule has inside of it makes up its internal energy.
- For instance, if a bar is bent by exerting force on it, the bar is said to have deformed from its unstressed state, and the quantity of strain energy it has stored is equal to the work the force has done on the bar.
