Answer:
Explanation:
Alkyl halides undergo hydrolysis more easily than aryl halides because aryl halides have a partial double bond of c-x character which is difficult to split. This double bond is not present in alkyl halides and so, they are easily hydrolysed.
In addition, aryl halides have resonance that makes it stable and less reactive. Alkyl halides do not have any resonance and therefore to achieve stability they have to undergo hydrolysis easily.
