💡 Solution & Explanation

Correct option: \(\text{D}\). The \(\ce{C-X}\) bond is polar because halogen is more electronegative than carbon. Bond strength and leaving-group ability control the observed reactivity order. Recovered question text: 25. identical conditions mainly because - (A) HI, being a stronger acid, protonates ethyl alcohol at oxygen much better and helps substitution (B) the bond length in HI is much shorter than that in HCl – (C) I is a much better leaving group (D) I – is a much better nucleophile than Cl – NaCN
