Answer:
Allyl chloride is more reactive than n-propyl chloride towards nucleophilic substitutionreactions, because allyl carbocation is a more stable intermediate than propyl carbocation.
Allyl carbocation is stable due to conjugation. Thus nucleophilic substitution occurs readily in allyl chloride
