Solution:

For a given alkyl group, the order of reactivity is

decreasing halogen reactivity.
This order depends on the carbon-halogen bond energy; the carbon-fluorine bond energy is maximum and thus fluorides are least reactive while carbon-iodine bond energy is minimum hence iodides are most reactive.
