Interpretation:
The strain energy has to be verified for cycloheptene molecule.
Concept introduction:
Strain energy:
Ring strain is a type of instability that exists when bonds in a molecule form angles that are abnormal. Strain is most commonly discussed for small rings such as cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes, whose internal angles are substantially smaller than the idealized value of approximately 109°.
Angle strain of cyclic molecules:
The German chemist Adolf van Baeyer, believing that all cyclic molecules like planner, proposed that the stability of a cycloalkane could be predicated by determining the difference between this ideal bond angle and the bond angle in the planner cycloalkane.
We consider the simple example of the bond angle in cyclopropane are 600 degree repressing a 45.50 degree it deviation from 109.50, it is proved from Baeyer this deviation cause angle strain which decrease respective molecules stability.
The corresponding Bond strain formula shown below

Im confused about the compound ethanal, or acetaldehyde. The second carbon has a double bond on its hydrogen, so I'm wondering why the infix is "an" instead of "en".

Determine the bond order of the bond from the underlined C to underlined O for the lowest energy structure(s). You may need to evaluate the formal charge of the additional species you draw. These are species in an aprotic solvent, so only electrons may be moved, not hydrogen atoms.
