Question: Cyclopropane and cyclobutane have similar strain energy despite the fact that the C-C-C bond angles of cyclopropane are much smaller than those of cyclobutane. Suggest an explanation for this observation, considering all sources of strain discussed in Chapter 4.
Question: Draw the structure for each compound using wedges and dashed wedges.
Question: Cholic acid, a compound called a bile acid, is converted to a bile salt in the body. Bile salts have properties similar to soaps, and they help transport lipids through aqueous solutions. Explain why this is so.

Question: Considering rotation around the bond highlighted in pink in each compound, draw Newman projections for the most stable and least stable conformations.
a.

b.
