Question
Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of rate of reaction towards nucleophilic substitution.
| (a) |  |
| (b) |  |
| (c) |  |
Options
(a) < (b) < (c)
(a) < (c) < (b)
(c) < (b) < (a)
(b) < (c) < (a)

Solution
(b) < (c) < (a)
Explanation:
The presence of electron releasing group at ortho- and para-positions decreases the reactivity of haloarenes. Because of the possible repulsion, it is less likely for the electron-rich nucleophile to approach electron-rich arenes. \[\ce{CH3}\] is an electron releasing group and is ortho and para - directors.

Assertion: Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution.
Reason: Nitro group, being an electron-withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.

Assertion: Chlorobenzene is resistant to nucleophilic substitution reaction at room temperature.
Reason (R): C–Cl bond gets weaker due, to resonance.
