Ring Strain the Cause of High Molecular Reactivity That Occurs

Question 183

Short Answer

Ring strain the cause of high molecular reactivity that occurs when the angles in a ring of atoms are not close to "normal" bond angles (90° when the bonds are formed by atoms using pure p-orbitals,109.5° using sp3 hybrid orbitals,120° using sp2 orbitals,etc. ).The angles in white phosphorus,P4,measure ________,and P4 ________ (is,is not)expected to exhibit ring strain and be very reactive.
