In this type of questions, a statement of assertion 
is followed by a statement of reason
(R). Mark the correct choice as:
Assertion : Haloalkanes are more reactive than chlorobenzene.
Reason : The C -atom of 
in chlorobenzene is 
hybridised.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
C-atom of chlorobenzene is 
hybridised and is more electronegative than C -atom of haloalkanes which is 
hybridised. Thus, more electronegative C -atom will have less tendency to release electrons to halogen atom 
and hence 
bond will be less polar than that in haloalkanes. Hence, chlorobenzene is less reactive than haloalkanes.
