Question

Explain the reactivity and relative strength of c- halogen bond in alkyl, allyl, benzyl, vinyl and arylhalides.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The first of these is covalent bond strength. The strongest of the carbon-halogen covalent bonds is that to fluorine. Remarkably, this is the strongest common single bond to carbon, being roughly 30 kcal/mole stronger than a carbon-carbon bond and about 15 kcal/mole stronger than a carbon-hydrogen bond
