Carbon-halogen bond strengths and reactivity
Among the various classes of organohalogen compounds, aryl halides have the strongest carbon-halogen bonds and alkyl halides the weakest, as, for example, in the following series of organochlorine compounds. (The bond dissociation energy is the amount of energy needed to break…
