Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes and haloalkenes. Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electron pair on chlorine is involved in a resonance with `pi` - electrons of a ring.
As a result, the C - Cl bond assumes partial doubled bond character which becomes difficult to break. Thus, reactivity decreases.
