Assertion (A) : Cyclohexane is the most stable cycloalkane.
Reason (R) : Cyclopropane and cyclobutane are less stable due to angle starin and torsional strain.
The correct answer is-
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
(A) is true but (R) is not true.
(A) is not true but (R) is true.
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
A.
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
In cycloalkane the heat of combustion of cyclohexane (657.9 kJ mol-1) is the lowest, hence, it is the most stable cycloalkane. Cyclopropane and cyclobutane are less stable due to angle strain and torsional strain, therefore cyclopropane and cyclobutane are reactive cycloalkane.
