Question
Write chemical equation in support of your answer.
Out of 
Cl and 
CH2- Cl, which one is more reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction and why?
Advertisements
Solution
CH2 - Cl , will be more reactive towards SN2 reaction as in case of reaction as in case of Cl the back side attack will be very difficult.

Allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl chloride. Why?
Assertion: Chlorobenzene is resistant to nucleophilic substitution reaction at room temperature.
Reason (R): C–Cl bond gets weaker due, to resonance.
