Why is cyclopropane is more reactive as compared to cyclohexane?

It is because of the ring strain. Fortunately, the orbitals bend a little to compensate it, but that isn't enough to completely stabilize it.
This makes it reactive because it really wants to break those bonds and unbend the orbitals.

The triangular structure of cyclo propane is not making the required angle of stability that is 109.5 but only 60 thus it is far less reactive than cyclo hexane ...



Pls mark brainiest

Hope it helps uh!!
