Question

Why do 5- and 6-membered intramolecular reactions generally have higher rates than intermolecular reactions?

Accepted Answer

Intramolecular reactions have lower activation energy due to favorable ring size and steric factors.

Answer

Intermolecular reactions have a higher frequency factor.

Answer

Intermolecular reactions are limited by the concentration of reactants.

Answer

5- and 6-membered rings are always more stable than larger rings.
