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
Chlorobenzene is less reactive than benzene as this group's -I effect( electron withdrawing effect) is more than its +R effect ( electron donating effect ) which in turn, actually decreases the electron density of the benzene ring and make the aromatic compound less reactive towards electrophiles.
In chloroethane, chlorine is bonded to a methly group which is electron donating, pushing electrons towards the C-H bond, increasing its electron charge density, making it more reactive towards electrophiles. Chlorobenzene on the other hand, is formed by the attack of an electrophile, Cl+ produced by homolytic fission of the chlorine molecule. This chlorine cation substitutes into the delocalised benzene ring, and is less reactive as the charge of the molecule is spread over the whole molecule, decreasing its charge density, making it less prone to attack by other electrophiles.
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.
Ethene is used industrially more than chloroethane because ethene is a key building block in the production of many important chemicals such as polyethylene, which has a wide range of industrial applications. Chloroethane, on the other hand, is less versatile and has limited industrial uses compared to ethene. Additionally, ethene can be produced more cost-effectively and in larger quantities compared to chloroethane.
Yes, hydrogen is a reactive element. It can form compounds with many other elements, such as oxygen to form water, or with carbon to form hydrocarbons. This reactivity is one of the reasons why hydrogen is used in various industrial processes.
Ethers are the least reactive class of organic compounds, moreover they are also less reactive than water
Alkaline-earth metals are less reactive compared to alkali metals, but they still react with water and oxygen to form oxides and hydroxides. They are more reactive than transition metals but less reactive than alkali metals.

Francium is considered to be more reactive than caesium.
Hydrogen (H) is more reactive. Francium (Fr) is less reactive.
Zn is more reactive than Ga, Cd is more reactive than In; but Tl is more reactive than Hg.
Separating compounds like chlorobenzene and bromobenzene can be challenging because they are structurally similar. One common method is fractional distillation, but this may not achieve complete separation. Another approach is chemical separation using specific reactions that selectively target one of the compounds.
Yes they are but less than Actinoids.
