Based on
onlypolarity we would predict that C E is the most
reactive and CL is the least reactive
2 BondEnergy
KJ1m01
C F 467 strongestbond
C d 346
C Br 290
C I 288 weakestbond
Based on the bond data c 1 is mostreactive as it's bond
energy
energy is the lowest
But since bondenergy is the PRIMARY determinant of reactivity
C I would be considered more reactive than C F
However bond polarity is also important as it'sused to predict
the typeof reaction and the nature of the reagent that will
attack the alkylhalide

odoalkanes are the mostreactive as the C I bond is the
Towest energy
240631moi whereas the chloroalkane is the least reachme
withthe highest bond energy 340551moi
Therefore thereaction 1 hydrolysis is fastest for iodoalkanes

USES OF ALKYLHALIDES
1 Used as CFCs chlorofluorocarbons
Properties of CFCs that made them useful
theywere inert andnontoxic
they are volatile and have lowboilingpoints
can becompressedeasily
Becauseof theseproperties could be used as aerosol propellants
