The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements about the reactivity of benzyl halides, vinyl halides, aryl halides, and alkyl halides are correct, we can analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Benzyl Halide Reactivity**: - Benzyl halides (e.g., C6H5CH2Cl) are more reactive than vinyl or aryl halides. This is because the benzyl carbocation (C6H5CH2+) formed upon the departure of the halide ion is stabilized by resonance with the benzene ring. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Comparing Vinyl Halides and Alkyl Halides**: - Vinyl halides (e.g., C6H5CH=CHCl) have halogens attached to sp2 hybridized carbons. Alkyl halides (e.g., CH3Cl) have halogens attached to sp3 hybridized carbons. The sp3 carbon in alkyl halides is more favorable for nucleophilic substitution reactions (like SN1) because it can form a more stable carbocation. Therefore, vinyl halides are **less reactive** than alkyl halides, making this statement **incorrect**. 3. **Reactivity of Aryl Halides Compared to Alkyl Halides**: - Aryl halides (e.g., C6H5Cl) have the halogen attached to a benzene ring. The carbon in aryl halides is sp2 hybridized, which makes it less reactive in nucleophilic substitution reactions compared to sp3 hybridized carbons in alkyl halides. Thus, aryl halides are also **less reactive** than alkyl halides, making this statement **correct**. 4. **Comparing Aryl Halides and Benzyl Halides**: - As established earlier, benzyl halides are more reactive than aryl halides due to the stability of the benzyl carbocation formed during the reaction. Therefore, the statement that aryl halides are more reactive than benzyl halides is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - **Correct Statements**: - A: Benzyl halide is more reactive than vinyl or aryl halide. (Correct) - C: Aryl halides are less reactive than alkyl halides. (Correct) - **Incorrect Statements**: - B: Vinyl halides are more reactive than alkyl halides. (Incorrect) - D: Aryl halides are more reactive than benzyl halides. (Incorrect) Thus, the correct options are **A and C**.
