Consider the following haloakanes 1 `CH_(3)F 2 CH_(3)Cl 3 CH_(2)Br 4 CH_(3)I` The increasing order of reactivity in nucelophilic subsittution reaction isA. `1 lt 2 lt 4 lt 3`B. `1 lt 2 lt 3 lt 4`C. `1 lt 3 lt 2 lt 4`D. `4 lt 3 lt 2 lt 1` |
Answer» Correct Answer - B The rate of nucleophilic substituion reaction depends upon the strenght of C-X bond. Strongerthe C-X bond. The lesser will be its reactivity. Strenght of C-X bond depends upon the atomic size of halogen atom, which increases in the order `Flt Cl lt Br lt I`. |
