Q44 / 62 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
How many of the statement(s) are correct
i) The nucleophile makes a rear attack in reaction and expels the leaving group from front side.
ii) adds to according to Anti‐Markownikoff’s rule.
iii) The basicity of halides decreases in the order but the nucleophillicity is reverse of it. (in polar protic solvents)
iv) The rate of reaction is independent of the polarity of the solvent.
v) Sigma complex or arenium ion is resonance stablised.

Solution
i) The nucleophile makes a rear attack in reaction and expels the leaving group from front side.
iii) The basicity of halides decreases in the order but the nucleophillicity is reverse of it. (in polar protic solvents)
v) Sigma complex or arenium ion is resonance stablised.
The above statements are correct.
adds to according to Markownikoff’s rule.
iv) The rate of reaction is faster in polar aprotic solvent.
iii) The basicity of halides decreases in the order but the nucleophillicity is reverse of it. (in polar protic solvents)
v) Sigma complex or arenium ion is resonance stablised.
The above statements are correct.
adds to according to Markownikoff’s rule.
iv) The rate of reaction is faster in polar aprotic solvent.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
