Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.
Explanation:
In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.
Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.
The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.
Non-polar covalent
Explanation:
Propane is made up of non-polar covalent bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.
Propane is an hydrocarbon gas.
It forms by sharing of electrons between two atoms with very low electronegativity differences.
This differences results in equal sharing of the shared electron. Therefore they form a non-polar covalent bond.
Water is a polar covalent compound and cannot dissolve compounds that are not polar like propane.
Propane will only dissolve in a like substance like hexane which is equally non-polar.
