Question

Why do alkyl halides undergo hydrolysis more readily than aryl halides

Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\orange{Hello,}$

$\huge\underline{Answer:}$

Haloalkanes generally have a boiling point that is higher than the alkane they are derived from. ... For the same alkyl group, the boiling point of haloalkanes decreases in the order RI > RBr > RCl > RF.This is due to the increase in van der Waals forces when the size and mass of the halogen atom increases.

Answer 2

$\huge\textcolor{red}{\texttt{Answer :-}}$

In aryl halides, there is double bond character in carbon halogen bond and the bond is less polar.

So, it is more difficult to break this bond as compared to single bond, in alkyl halides.Hence, alkyl halides undergo hydrolysis more readily than aryl halides.
