Question

chlorobenzene is nearly same reactive as that of methyl chloride is this statement is true please tell us the explanation also​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Why is chlorobenzene less reactive than methyl chloride?

Chlorobenzene is stabilised by resonance. Alone one pair from the chlorine atom can induce resonance in the aromatic ring, and this extra movement of electrons forms a much stronger structure, which implies less reactivity.

In methyl chloride , this resonance does not exist, and therefore the stability is not enhanced. This makes methyl chloride more reactive.

Since benzyl chloride has a ring, which can stabilize the intermediate, however in case of methyl chloride, the intermediate is even less stable.

simple, more stable intermediate (stable carbocation) goes with SN1

less stable intermediate (intermediate is transition state) goes with SN2

so, benzyl chloride will incline more towards SN1 mechanism.
