Vinyl chloride is non reactive towards nucleophilic reaction because it forms very unstable carbocation.

Hey dear,
● Answer -
Cause double bond delocalizes with resonance.
● Explanation -
- Vinyl chloride contains double bond between two carbon atoms.
- This double bond delocalizes by resonance.
- C-Cl bond thus shows partial double bond character becomes highly stable.
- This C-Cl bond is hard to break and thus hardly ever undergoes nucleophilic addition reaction.
Hope this helps you...
