KI dissolved in acetone undergoes S_(N^(2)) reaction with each of P,Q,R and S. the reaction rates vary as: . |

Answer» <P>`PgtQgtRgtS` Relative reactivity order towards `S_(N^(2))` reaction is: (S) is maximum rective SINCE electron withdrawing CARBONYL group `(gtC=0)` increases the polarity of `C-Cl` bond (P) is reactive due to least STERIC HINDRANCE. (R) is more reactive than (Q) as there is comparatively less steric hindrance.t his means that Q is the least reactive as has been shown in the reaction rates. |
