What is baeyer's strain theory and it's limitation?

Baeyer strain theory Baeyer strain theory or strain theory explains specific behaviour of chemical compounds in terms of bond angle strain. It was proposed by Adolf von Baeyer in 1885 to account for the unusual chemical reactivity in ring-opening reactions of cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes where this angle strain is relieved. On ring strain he noted in 1885: The four valences of the carbon atom act in the directions that connect the center of a sphere with the corners of a tetrahedron and that form an angle of 109 28' with each other. The direction of the attraction can experience a deviation that will, however, cause an increase in strain correlating with the degree of this deviation... I hav no idea abt its limitations....sorry..... -Vansh +919632598763
