Arrange the following in the increasing order of properly indicated : CH3F, CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH3I (Increasing reactivity towards Nucleophilic substitution and increasing order of dipole moment)
The reaction is known as a nucleophilic substitution reaction when a nucleophile, which is an electron pair giver, interacts with an electron pair acceptor. It is well known that as one moves down the group, the size of the components grows larger. As a result, the larger the element, the easier it will serve as a leaving group, allowing the nucleophile to connect more quickly. The order is given below: CH3FCH3F < CH3ClCH3Cl < CH3BrCH3Br < CH3ICH3I
