Which of the following are responsible for haloarenes being less reactive than haloalkanes towards nucleophilic substitution?
a)C-X bond stronger in haloarenes
b)haloarenes are inherently less stable
c)Benzene ring itself is electrophilic in nature

As we learnt
Haloarene is less reactive than haloalkane -
Towards nucleophilic substitution rection haloarene is less reactive then haloalkane.
- wherein
due to
1) Resonance
2) Partial double charactor.
Haloarenes are more stable than haloalkanes due to resonance. Benzene ring is nucleophilic in nature.
