Which statement is incorrect about reactivity of alkyl halides with respect to nucleophile:
Correct answer: C. Greater the bond energy of R-X, smaller the stability
- A. Greater the bond energy of R-X, lesser the reactivity
- B. Greater the bond polarity of R-X, greater the reactivity
- C. Greater the bond energy of R-X, smaller the stability
- D. Greater E.N difference of R- X, lesser the stability
Explanation
Option C is correct. It gives an incorrect idea. Greater bond energy, makes the bond more stable.Note: Bond energy is always inversely proportional to reactivity.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
