hey buddy !! here's your answer...
Aryl halides are relatively unreactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions as compared to alkyl halides.
This lack of reactivity is due to several factors.
➡️Steric hindrance caused by the benzene ring of the aryl halide prevents SN2 reactions.
➡️ Moreover, phenyl cations are unstable, thus making SN1 reactions impossible.
hope it helps !! ❤️✌️

Aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction as compared to alkyl halides due to resonance stabilization.
Due to resonance, C−Cl bond acquires partial double bond character and becomes shorter and stronger and cannot be easily replaced by nucleophiles.
