Statement I: Aryl halides cannot rapidly undergo nucleophilic substitution Statement II: Aryl halides are more soluble in water than alkyl halides. |
Both statement I and statement II are correct and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I Both statement I and statement II are correct but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I Statement I is correct but statement II is false Statement I is false but statement II is correct |
Statement I is correct but statement II is false |
The answer is 3. Statement I is correct but statement II is false. Statement I is correct because aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions than alkyl halides. This is because the aromatic ring delocalizes the electron density away from the halogen atom, making it less susceptible to attack by a nucleophile.
Statement II is false because aryl halides are less soluble in water than alkyl halides. This is because the aromatic ring is non-polar, while water is polar. The non-polar aromatic ring does not interact well with the polar water molecules, making aryl halides less soluble in water. Therefore, statement I is correct but statement II is false. Here is a table that summarizes the properties of aryl halides and alkyl halides:
