Ethyl chloride reacts with AgNO3 and white precipitate of AgCl is found. But chlorobenzene doesn`t react.due to resonance C-Cl bond of chlorobenzene becomes partially double bond but there is no resonance in ethyl chloride. In ethyl chloride there is no resonance of C-Cl bond but there is resonance of C-Cl band in chlorobenzene. So ethyl chloride react with AgNO3 to form white ppt. of AgCl whereas chlorobenzene does not.
hope this helps you out
