This is a assertion and reason answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
The SN2 mechanism is demonstrated by the hydrolysis of alkyl halides with inversion of configuration. This is a one-step method that does not need the production of carbocation.

Due to resonance, a partial double bond character occurs in the bond between the C and Cl atoms in chlorobenzene, and we all know that changing a partial double bond character is more difficult than replacing a single bond as in the C - Cl bond in chloroethane.

Oxidising chemicals such as HIO3 oxidise HI to I2 because the presence of HI causes the aryl iodides to revert to arenes in their absence.

This is a assertion and reason answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Because of the size of the halogen atom, the boiling temperatures of alkyl halides drop in the specified sequence. With the greatest atomic number, iodide has the most electrons, resulting in increased Van Der Waals forces and a higher boiling point.
Correct Answer: Option (v)

This is a assertion and reason answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Thionyl chloride is favoured over phosphorus chlorides because the by-products produced, in addition to the alkyl halides, include SO2 and HCl, which are gaseous and so may escape the reaction, leaving just pure halides.
Correct Answer: Option (ii)

This is a matching answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
In the presence of Na metal in dry ether, an alkyl halide and an aryl halide combine to create alkyl arene in the Wurtz-Fittig reaction.
The Fittig reaction, which involves a coupling reaction between two aryl halides in dry ether in the presence of Na metal, yielding diaryl compounds, is the second reaction.
The Sandmeyer reaction produces aryl halides from primary amines by converting them to diazonium salts and treating them with cuprous bromide.
The Finkelstein reaction, which produces alkyl iodides by reacting alkyl chlorides or bromides with NaI in dry acetone, i
