Ring strain is caused by increased torsional strain, steric strain, and angle strain, in the small, nearly planar ring of cyclopropane. Larger rings like cyclohexane, have much lower ring straing because they adopt non-planar conformations.

This is highly stabilizing since not only is a \(σ_{C-C}\) bond a slightly better donor than \(σ_{C-H}\), but because the \(σ^{*}_{C-C}\) is lower in energy than the \(σ^{*}_{C-H}\) (consider the effects of electronegativity and bond length).
