Question

Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction as compared to alyl halides due to
A. The formation of less stable carbonium iion
B. Resonance stablisation
C. Longer carbon halogen bond
D. `sp^(2)-` Hybrisised carbon attached to the halogen.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - `(b,d)`
Aryl halides are less reactive towards nuceclphilic subsituation reaction as compared to alkyl halides due to the the following reason:
i. resonance stablisation
ii. `sp^(2)-` hybridised carbon attahced to the halogen.
