In chlorobenzene, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom(more 's' character). In cyclohexyl chloride, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom (less's' character than hybridized carbon atom). Hence chlorobenzene is more electronegative than cyclohexyl chloride. Therefore, the density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom is less in chlorobenzene than cyclohexyl chloride.The density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom in chlorobenzene decreases due to the -R effect of the benzene ring which is not in cyclohexyl chloride. Due to this polarity of the C-Cl bond decreases and hence dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than cyclohexyl chloride.
From an SN1 perspective, the more stable intermediate, the more reactive the substance. In both benzyl chloride and 1-chlorobutane, a primary carbon holds the halogen; primary carbons make awful carbocations. However, since benzyl chloride has a benzene ring in an alpha position to the primary carbon, there is the option for resonance of the carbocation to other positions in the molecule. This resonance greatly increases the stability of the intermediate to reaction, making reaction easier to initiate, increasing reactivity
No, it is impossible and useless, besides both chloro-methylbenzene (phenylchloride, as intermediate product) and chlorobenzene (final) are also carcinogenic
No. More reactive halogens will replace less reactive ones in a compound. This is because a more reactive halogen is more stable in a compound relative to a less reactive one, while a less reactive halogen is relatively more stable in its elemental form.
Hydrogen is more reactive than Copper, but less reactive than Zinc which is less reactive than Magnesium which is less reactive than Potassium. Potassium is the most reactive of all, relatively speaking.

The reaction occurs because iron is more reactive then the copper is. The more reactive metal wants to create a compound, which is why it forms iron chloride. Copper, being the less reactive substance wants to become pure and separates from the chloride to be on its own.
In case of vinyl chloride Chlorine undergoes the conjugation of vinyl grope having having resonating structure vinyl chloride acquire Double Bond character hence it is difficult to form easily. H2C=CH is less stable. In case of ethyl chloride there is only single bond then it is easier to break then vinyl chloride is less reactive then ethyl chloride. CH3=CH2 IS more stable.
Remember that acid chlorides typically undergo nucleophilic substitution in which the partially positively charged carbon is attacked by nucleophile. Due to resonance(delocalization) in benzoyl chloride, the positive charge isn't concentrated in carbonyl C atom unlike in ethanoyl chloride but spreads over o and p positions in benzene ring. So, the carbonyl carbon in benzoyl chloride is less positive, less susceptible to nucleophilic attack and hence, less reactive.

less reactive
No, it is less reactive.
Chlorine gas is highly toxic, but in table salt it has been rendered into the chloride ion, which is much less reactive.
Gold is a less reactive metal but not non-reactive; all metals are reactive.
