Which of the following is not true about the five membered rings? Correct Answer Five membered rings are more stable than 6 membered rings
6-membered rings can have 3D conformations, such as the chair conformation (the more stable) and the boat conformation. These conformations relax the angles, getting them closer to the tetrahedral angle. Thus, cycle gains stability. That is why 5-membered rings are less stable than 6-membered.
