Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer....

The contributing structures III, IV and V indicate that C-Cl bond has partial double character.As a result, the C-Cl bond in chlorobenzene is shorter and hence, stronger.Thus, cleavage of C-Cl bond in benzene becomes difficult which makes it less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution.
