Chemical Properties
Reactivity
Two factors
1)Bond Dissociation energy in C-X
2)Nature of alkyl group
1) Bond Dissociation energy α Bond Length
Reactivity α Bond Dissociation energy α
Bond Length α 1/Bond Strength
Order of bond length
C-I>C-Br>C-Cl>C-F
Reactivity order

d c b
2 Nature of alkyl group
Greater the polarity α Greater reactivity
1o<2o<3o
NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION
the nucleophile uses its lone pair to provide the electrons for a new bond
the halogen is displaced - carbon can only have 8 electrons in its outer shell
the result is substitution following attack by a nucleophile
the mechanism is therefore known as - NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION
