Many of these cyclic structures are aromatic, and therefore planar. Many others, though, are composed of sp3-hybridized atoms, and it is these cyclic structures that are the topic of discussion in this section.

    Angle strain is the increase in potential energy of a molecule due to bond angles deviating from the ideal values.

We know from our discussion of A-strain that substituents like to be equatorial, so the β-D-glucose form that contains more equatorial substituents will be more stable, shifting the equilibrium to the right. In the case of β-D-fructose, the equilibrium will favor the envelope in which only two substituents are pseudoaxial.
