                    Reactivity order of halides for dehydrohalogenation is:                                                                 

    A)                 \[R-F>R-Cl>R-Br>R-I\]   

    B)                 \[R-I>R-Br>R-Cl>R-F\]

    C)                 \[R-I>R-Cl>R-Br>R-F\]   

    D)                 \[R-F>R-I>R-Br>R-Cl\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    F, CI, Br and I are the elements of VIIA group. In a group atomic, radii increases from top to bottom and the bond dissociation energy decreases as                 R ? F > R ? Cl > R ? Br > R ? I                 So, during dehydrohalogenation R-I bond breaks more easily than R-F bond. Hence, order of reactivity will be-                 R ? I > R ? Br > R ? Cl > R - F
