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

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C

If (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect.

D

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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