Answer:
A tertiary alkyl halide is more reactive and therefore less stable than a secondary alkyl halide as it reacts faster in SN1 nucleophillic substitution and does not react via SN2 due to the static hinderance of the halogen atom by the three alkyl groups attached to the carbon atom with the halogen atom attached
