💡 Solution & Explanation

Correct answer: \(\text{D}\). Haloarenes have a less reactive aryl \(\ce{C-X}\) bond due to resonance; reactions such as benzyne formation or activated substitution require the stated conditions. Recovered question text: 23. Aryl halides are less reactive towards SN reactions as compared to alkyl halides due to: (a) The formation of more stable carbocation (b) Resonance stabilisation (c) Long carbonhalogen bond (d) sp2hybrid carbon attached to Cl having lone pairs COLLEGES: Andheri / Borivali / Chembur / Dadar / Kalyan / Kharghar / Nerul / Powai / Thane # 300 ALKYL ARYL HA
