Question

In a reaction where a metal ion stabilizes a leaving group, what impact does this have on the reaction rate?

Accepted Answer

It increases the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy.

Answer

It decreases the reaction rate by stabilizing the transition state.

Answer

It increases the reaction rate by forming a stronger bond with the substrate.

Answer

It has no impact on the reaction rate.
