(A) n-Butyl bromide
(B) Isobutyl bromide
(C) Tertiary butyl bromide
(D) Sec-Butyl bromide
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B), (D), (C)
  2. B (A), (B), (C), (D)
  3. C (B), (A), (D), (C)
  4. D (C), (D), (B), (A)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (C), (D), (B), (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Order of \(S_{N}2\) reactivity is: methyl > primary > secondary > tertiary. Steric hindrance at the reaction center decreases reactivity. Tertiary alkyl halides are the most hindered, while primary are the least hindered. Comparing primary alkyl halides: n-Butyl bromide is less…
