In organic chemistry, ring strain is the tendency of a cyclic molecule, such as a cycloalkane, to destabilize when its atoms are in non-favorable high energy spatial orientations. Non-cyclic molecules do not exhibit ring strain because their terminal (end) atoms are not connected to force a particular type of spatial orientation.
