Interpretation:
The given compounds are to be ranked in the order from smallest heat of combustion to largest heat of combustion values.
Concept introduction:
Ring strain is the type of instability that exists when bonds in a molecule form angles that are abnormal. Ring strain can also be defined as the increase in energy due to geometric constraints on the ring. For a given cycloalkane, the ring strains per
