Question

Statement 1:$ C_{2}H_{5}I$ is more reactive than $C_{2}H_{5}Cl$
Statement 2: 1 being less electronegative than Cl

• A. If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1
• B. If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation o f the statement 1
• C. If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false

Answer: (B)

$C_{2}H_{5}I$ is more reactive than $C_{2}H_{5}Cl$ due to lower bond energy of Cl - I bond than C - Cl bond
