The order of reactivity of haloalkanes towards nucleophiles depends on the strength of the carbon-halogen bond. A weaker bond is easier to break, making the compound more reactive in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
Consider the bond dissociation energies:
Thus, the bond strength order is: C-Cl > C-Br > C-I.
Since reactivity is inversely proportional to bond strength, the reactivity order is: RI > RBr > RCl.
Comparing with the options:
Option A matches our derived order.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
