Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes and haloalkenes, we can break down the reasoning into several steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Haloarenes and Haloalkanes - **Haloarenes** are compounds where a halogen atom (X) is attached to a benzene ring. Examples include chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, etc. - **Haloalkanes** are compounds where a halogen atom is attached to an alkane (a saturated hydrocarbon). Examples include chloroethane, bromoethane, etc. - **Haloalkenes** are compounds where a halogen atom is attached to an alkene (an unsaturated hydrocarbon). Examples include vinyl chloride. ### Step 2: Resonance in Haloarenes ...
