The leaving group is that functional group which is ejected with electrons of the o-bond in a reaction. Better the leaving group, faster is the reaction. The relative leaving abilitiy of the leaving group X in (R-X) is increased by:
i. The polarisability of (R-X) bond ii. The degree of stabilisation through solvation of X.
iii. The strength of (R-X) bond. iv. The stability of `X^(Theta)`.
The leaving group tendency is also called fugacity.
Which statement is wrong?

A

In polar aprotic solvents such as DMSO, DMF, and DMA, the fugacity order is `I^(Theta)gt Br^Theta gt Cl^Theta gt F^Theta`

B

Strong bases are good leaving groups.

C

The leaving group order of the following is: `OH^(Theta) gt RO^(Theta) gt CH -= C^(Theta) gt ""^ThetaNH_2`

D

Charged species are good leaving group than neutral species.
