Adolf von Baeyer suggested that, since carbon prefers to have tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of
approximately 109o, ring sizes other than five and six may be too strained to exist. Baeyer based his hypothesis
I
on the geometrical notion that a three-membered ring (cyclopropane) should be an equilateral triangle with bond
KK
angles to 60o, a four-membered ring (cyclobutane) should be a square with bond angles of 90o and so on.
According to Baeyer's analysis, cyclopropane, with a bond angle compression of 109o - 60o = 49o, should have a
large amount of angle strain and must, therefore, be highly reactive. Cyclohexane becomes puckered to release
DI
its strain. The angular deviation of cycloalkane is (-11o). Greater is the angular deviation more is the torsional
strain.

In 1830, Michael Faraday showed that if electricity is passed through a solution of an electrolyte, chemical
reactions occurred at the electrodes, which resulted in the liberation and deposition of matter at the electrodes. In
the mid-1850s Faraday began to study electrical discharge in partially evacuated tubes, known as cathode ray
discharge tubes. When sufficiently high voltage is applied across the electrodes, current starts flowing through a
stream of particles moving in the tube from the negative electrode to the positive electrode. These were called
cathode rays or cathode ray particles. J.J. Thomson measured the ratio of electrical charge (e) to the mass of the
electron (me) by using a cathode ray tube and applying electrical and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other
as well as to the path of electrons. Positively charged particle was characterised in 1919. Later, a need was felt
for the presence of electrically neutral particles as one of the constituents of the atom.
