Assertion: Aryl halides are highly reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Reason: In case of halorenes, halogen atom is attached to sp hybridised carbon atom.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason Is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assetion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions as C-X bond aquires a partial double bond character due to resonance.
Also halogen atom is attached to `sq^2` hybridised carbon atom.
