  2. B \( R-I>R-B r>R-C l>R-F \)
  3. C \( R-I>R-C l>R-B r>R-F \)
  4. D \( R-F>R-l>R-B r>R-C l \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( R-I>R-B r>R-C l>R-F \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When heated with strong bases, alkyl halides typicallyundergo a \( \beta \) - elimination reactions to generate alkenes. Theorder
of reactivity towards \( \beta \) - elimination is \( |>B r>C|>F \). Therefore, the order of reactivity of alky halides is \( R-1>R-B r>R- \)
\( \mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{F} \).
