Which of the following is the correct order of decreasing S_(N^2) reactivity?

Answer»

`RCH_(2) X gt R_(3) CX gt R_(2)CHX`
`RCH_(2)XgtR_(2)CHXgt R_(3)RX`
`R_(3)CX gt R_(2)CHX gt R_(2)CHX gt RCH_(2)X`
`R_(2)CHX gt R_(2)CX gt RCH_(2)X`.

SOLUTION :It is the correct decreasing order of reactivity (i.e., `1^(@) gt 2^(@) gt 3^(@)`) towards `S_(N^(2))` reaction mechanism. Since steric HINDRANCE which the attacking nuleophile is expected to experience decreases in this order
