This is far less than the thermodynamically most stable angle of 109.5° (for bonds between atoms with sp 3 hybridised orbitals) and leads to significant ring strain.The molecule also has torsional strain due to the eclipsed conformation of its hydrogen atoms.
It can be used to interconvert bond angles and hybridization indices.
Cyclopropane is analogous to a triangle and thus has bond angles of 60°, much lower than the preferred 109.5° of an sp 3 hybridized carbon. (Viewing along either of the other two bonds would show the same picture.) Cyclopropane is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3,SRC) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.79 atm-cu m/mole(4,5,SRC). The dissociation energy of the C-C bond in cyclobutane is very small with a value of 264 kJ mol-1.As in cyclopropane, ring opening eliminates the ring strain and allows the formation of new bonds with larger orbital overlap.
If it were, there would be eight pairs of eclipsed hydrogen atoms, which would account for 8 × 4.2 = 33.6 kJ mole − 1 of the total strain energy of cyclobutane. We recall that a hydrogen–hydrogen eclipsing interaction in ethane is 4.2 kJ mole − 1.
(c) Suggest why cyclopropane is so reactive.
As pointed out in this answer, the bent-bond analysis (Pauling) is equivalent to the more common pi bond treatment (Hückel). Since cyclobutane has a non-planar butterfly conformation the calculated bond angle is ~88 o and not 90 o.

• The ring of cyclopropane is triangle.
It doesn’t.
[graphic 2.2] While angles between bonds at tetrahedral C are usually close to 109.5°, this specific value occurs only when the four other atoms (or groups of atoms) attached to the carbon atom are identical to each other.
[graphic 2.2] While angles between bonds at tetrahedral C are usually close to 109.5°, this specific value occurs only when the four other atoms (or groups of atoms) attached to the carbon atom are identical to each other. Bond angles between the carbon atoms of cyclopropane. In cyclic alkanes, ring strain energy decreases in order cyclopropane>cyclobutane>cyclopentane>cyclohexane. This 60° angle is much smaller than the normal tetrahedral bond angle of 109.5° and imposes considerable strain (called angle strain) on cyclopropane. The three carbon atoms of cyclopropane define the corners of an equilateral triangle, a geometry that requires the C―C―C angles to be 60°.
(a) Draw a Lewis structure for cyclopropane.
(b) Compare the bond angles of the carbon atoms in cyclopropane with those in an acyclic (noncyclic) alkane. When they are not all identical, the bond angles adjust to accommodate the different size groups.
$\endgroup$ – ron Sep 13 '15 at 13:46 In cyclopropane, the C-C bond is displaced outward from internuclear axis; 16 Cyclobutane Although the bond angles are not the same in cyclopropane as in ethane, we can estimate that the total torsional strain energy is 6 × 4.2 = 25.2 kJ mole − 1. In the case of cyclopropane the hydrogens eclipse each other, greatly adding to the strain.
