Discuss the nature of C-X bond in the haloarenes.

Explanation

In haloarenes, the carbon atom of C-X bond is `sp^(2)` hybridised and therefore, is more electronegative than `sp^(3)` hybridised carbon atom in haloalkanes. Therefore, this `sp^(2)` hybridised carbon has less tendency to release electrons to X atom of C-X bond in aryl halides and therefore, C-X bond is less polar in aryl halides as compared to alkyl halides.
