A) electrophilic substitution
B) nucleophilic substitution
C) free radical substitution
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
When alkyl halide reacts with aqueous \[NaOH\] then alcohol is formed. \[R-X+NaOH\xrightarrow{{}}ROH+NaX\] In this reaction \[O{{H}^{-}}\] is a nucleophile and it replaces the halogen as halide. Therefore, this reaction is called nucleophilic substitution reaction. Note-\[R-X+{{Z}^{-}}\] (nucleophile) \[\xrightarrow{{}}R-Z+{{X}^{-}}\]
