Explanation:
Haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes because in case of aryl halides the carbon is SP2 hybridised while in haloalkanes it is SP3 hybridised. As SP2 is more electronegative than SP3 due to more S character in SP2. Therefore haloarenes are more stable than haloalkanes and hence less reactive.
