MCQ
Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction as compared to alkyl halides due to:
  • A
    The formation of less stable carbonium ion.
  • B
    Longer carbon-halogen bond
  • C
    The inductive effect
  • sp$^2$-hybridised carbon attached to the halogen.

Answer

Correct option: D.
sp$^2$-hybridised carbon attached to the halogen.
Explanation:  d. sp$^2$-hybridised carbon attached to the halogen.
Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction as compared to alkyl halides due to the following reasons:
Resonance stabilisation.
Sp$^2$-hybridised carbon attached to the halogen.
