Question

The order of reactivities of the following alkyl halides for a $S_N$ 2 reaction is-

A

RF > RCI > RBr > RI

B

RF > RBr > RCI > Rl

C

RCl > RBr > RF > RI

D

Rl > RBr > RCl > RF

Answer

Rl > RBr > RCl > RF

Explanation

Solution

If alkyl groups are same, the order of leaving ability of halides in S $_N$ 2 reaction is R > RBr > RCI > RF
