Detailed Solution

  • Tertiary alkyl halides are the least reactive because, bulky groups hinder the approaching nucleophiles.
  • Of the simple alkyl halides, methyl halides react most rapidly in SN2 reactions
    because, there are only three small hydrogen atoms.
  • Thus, the order of reactivity followed is: Methyl halide > Primary halide > Secondary halide > Tertiary halide.
