Answer / p.kaviarasan

bond angle difference is there.steric hindrence would
increase the bond angle.but bond angle decreases with
increase in torsional strain.

for example,smaller cyclic compounds having larger strain.
ex:cyclopropane

Larger cyclic compounds having smaller strain.
ex: cyclohexane
