Why aryl halides are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions? Explain. 

Answer»

As result of resonance, C–Cl bond acquires a partial double bond character. Thus, the bond cleavage in haloarene is difficult than haloalkane (where carbon is attached to halogen by a pure single bond) and thus, they are less reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction.
