Which compound in the given pair would undergo S~2 reaction at a faster rate and why?
\nCH3 \u2013 CH2 \u2013 I and CH3 \u2013 CH2 \u2013 Br<\/h2>\n

Ans.\u00a0 In the S<sup>2<\/sup> (bimolecular nucleophilic substitution) reaction, the rate is largely dependent on the stability of the transition state, which in turn is influenced by the strength of the carbon-halogen bond being broken.<\/h3>\n

The rate of an S<sup>2<\/sup> reaction is generally faster when the carbon-halogen bond is weaker. The carbon-halogen bond strength decreases in the order of C-F > C-Cl > C-Br > C-I due to the decrease in electronegativity of the halogen atom.<\/h3>\n

Comparing CH<sub>3<\/sub>\u2013CH<sub>2<\/sub>\u2013I and CH<sub>3<\/sub>\u2013CH<sub>2<\/sub>\u2013Br, the carbon-iodine bond in CH<sub>3<\/sub>\u2013CH<sub>2<\/sub>\u2013I is weaker than the carbon-bromine bond in CH<sub>3<\/sub>\u2013CH<sub>2<\/sub>\u2013Br. This is because iodine is larger and less electronegative than bromine, leading to a weaker bond.<\/h3>\n

Therefore, CH<sub>3<\/sub>\u2013CH<sub>2<\/sub>\u2013I would undergo an S<sup>2<\/sup> reaction at a faster rate compared to CH<sub>3<\/sub>\u2013CH<sub>2<\/sub>\u2013Br.<\/h3>\n
