Question

Nucleophilic substitution reaction in alkyl halides

Answer 1

Carbon atom of the C-X bond in alkyl group possesses partial positive charge due to higher electronegative nature of halogen atom.

Therefore electron rich species that is nucleophiles can attack at the site of carbon atom. If attacking nucleophile is stronger than halide ion then nucleophillic substitution reaction take place nd halide ion replaced by the stronger nucleophile.

So we can say that its mainly due to the POLAR NATURE IN C - X BONDS
