Step-by-Step Verified Solution
reaction is favoured by small groups on the carbon atom attached to halogen.
So, the order of reactivity is
C{H_3}Cl > {\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_2}CHCl >
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_3}CCl > {\left( {C{}_2{H_5}} \right)_2}CHCl
NOTE : reaction is shown to maximum extent by primary halides. The only primary halides given is so the correct answer is
