Since F is most electronegative it will increase the positive charge density on ring carbon atom and will also stabilize the resulting intermediate thus Ar-F is most reactive.

Q. In the reaction:

Then which of the following aryl halide is most reactive?

$A r - I$

$A r - Cl$

$A r - F$

$A r - B r$

Since $F$ is most electronegative it will increase the positive charge density on ring carbon atom and will also stabilize the resulting intermediate thus $A r - F$ is most reactive.

Q. In the reaction: Then which of the following aryl halide is most reactive?

Ar−I

Ar−Cl

Ar−F

Ar−Br
