The acceptibility order in the halide is towards SN2 reaction is CH3I> CH3Br> CH3Cl> CH3F. This is because iodine is more ( better nucleophile)& less is solvated atom due to bigger size than other halogen atoms.

Answer 2

Answer:

The acceptibility order in the halide is towards SN2 reaction is CH3I> CH3Br> CH3Cl> CH3F. This is because iodine is more polarizable ( better nucleophile)& less is solvated atom due to bigger size than other halogen atoms.
