JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 6. Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

The order of reactivity of the given haloalkanes towards nucleophile is

  1. A \(RI > RBr > RCl\)
  2. B \(RCl > RBr> RI\)
  3. C \(RBr >RCl >RI\)
  4. D \(RBr > RI > RCl\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(RI > RBr > RCl\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a given alkyl group, the order of reactivity is \(\mathop {\underline {R - I\, > \,R\, - \,Br\, > \,R\, - \,Cl\, > \,R\, - \,F} }\limits_{\;{\text{ }}increasing{\text{ }}bond{\text{ }}energy} \) decreasing halogen reactivity. This order depends on the carbon-halogen bond…
