A) less than benzyl chloride
B) more than ethyl bromide
C) equal to methyl chloride
D) more than isopropyi chloride
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a]Chlorobenzene is less reactive than benzyl chloride due to resonance. The \[CCl\] bond of chlorobenzene acquires double bond character due to resonance. |
As a result, double bond become strong and thus difficult to break. |
Hence, chlorobenzene is not very reactive. In case of benzyl chloride, it is resonance stabilised. Hence it is more reactive. |
