Question
Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes and haloalkenes. Explain.
Solution
In haloarenes, the electron pairs on halogen atom are in conjugation with π-electrons of the ring.
C-Cl bond acquires a partial double bond character due to resonance. As a result, the bond cleavage in haloarene is difficult than haloalkane and therefore, they are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
