Identify the correct order of reactivity for the following pairs towards the respective mechanism (A) (B) (C) Electrophilic substitution (D) Nucleophilic substitution Choose the correction answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

The rate of S N 2 reaction decreases with increase in steric crowding. In the given set of molecules the second molecule(Tertiary alkyl halide) is sterically crowded, hence, it is correct option. More stable carbocation formed, higher will be the reactivity of S N 1 . Benzyl carbocation is more reactive than aliphatic carbocation. The deactivating groups decreases the rate of electrophilic substitution reaction. NO 2 is strong deactivating group for electrophilic substitution. In the aromatic nucleophilic substitut
