haloarenes are less reactive than haloalkanes because:
1. resonance effect more the resonatinsg structures,more the stability
2.difference in hybridisation of the C-X bond i.e.,in haloalkanes,the hybridisation is sp3 whereas in haloarenes it is sp2 hybridised.As sp2 is more electronegative therefore bond length is shorter and hence stronger.
these are the major reasons.
Alkyl halides undergo an E2 elimination reaction with alcoholic KOH to form alkenes due to the basicity of KOH in an alcohol solvent. However, with aqueous KOH, alkyl halides undergo an SN2 substitution reaction to form alcohols. The solvents play a significant role in determining the type of reaction that occurs.
Alkyl halides undergo elimination reactions, such as E2 and E1, to form alkenes and hydrogen halides. This occurs in the presence of a base or nucleophile due to the tendency of the halide to leave, resulting in the formation of a double bond. The presence of a strong base favors elimination over substitution reactions.
Furan does not typically undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions because of its aromatic nature, which offers stability due to delocalization of the pi electrons in the ring. This makes furan less reactive towards nucleophilic attack compared to non-aromatic compounds.
Yes an alkyl halide can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions - it just depends on what kind of alkyl halide it is. Methyl halides such as CH3Br/CH3Cl/CH3I, etc. are most suitable for Sn2 reactions because they are less sterically hindered by R-groups (they are not "bulky"). This allows for easy attack by the nucleophile. Primary alkyl halides (RCH2X) are also most suitable for Sn2 because of the same reason above Secondary alkyl halides can undergo both Sn1 and Sn2 reactions, this depends on other factors such as solvent and leaving group and nucleophile. If the solvent is polar aprotic, the reaction will go Sn2, if polar protic - Sn1. Tertiary alkyl halides (alkyl halides with 4 r-groups) do not go Sn2 because they are bulky and the R-groups stabilize the carbocation by hyperconjugation and inductive effect.
No reaction occurs between the acidified hydrogen peroxide and the other halide ions, because the hydrogen ions involved in both cases are in the same group. For a reaction to occur it needed to have an element that is more reactive than hydrogen.
Tertiary alkyl halides do not undergo the Wurtz reaction because they do not have any active hydrogen atoms that can participate in the radical coupling step. Without an active hydrogen, the radical mechanism required for the Wurtz reaction cannot proceed.

Due to the bulky nature of the aryl group, aryl halides do not undergo SN reactions easily. Additionally, the carbon-halogen bond in aryl halides is strengthened due to resonance stabilization, making it more difficult for nucleophiles to displace the halogen atom. This results in aryl halides being more prone to undergo elimination reactions (E1 and E2) instead of substitution reactions.

as order of reactivity of sn1 reaction is 3>2>1 , we do not synthesise primary alkyl halide using sn1 reation. as there is no pushing from other carbon atoms, it is difficult for the X part of RX to separate itself.
NH3 has a lesser tendency to undergo solvolysis compared to alkyl halides because it is a weaker nucleophile due to the lone pair on nitrogen being less available for attack. Additionally, the strong N-H bond in ammonia is less polarizable compared to the C-X bond in alkyl halides, making it less susceptible to nucleophilic attack.
No reaction occurs between the acidified hydrogen peroxide and the other halide ions, because the hydrogen ions involved in both cases are in the same group. For a reaction to occur it needed to have an element that is more reactive than hydrogen.
Alcohols can be converted to alkyl halides using hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr, HI) or phosphorus halides (PBr3, PCl3, PI3). Additionally, SOCl2 (thionyl chloride) and PBr3 can also be used for this conversion.
