CH_3Br + Nu^- \rightarrow CH_3Nu + Br^-

The decreasing order of the rate of the above reaction with nucleophiles (), to , is

Answer: (A)

Solution

The rate of this reaction increases with the nucleophilicity of . Comparing the given nucleophiles by the stability of the negative charge each bears (a more localised, less delocalised/resonance-stabilised charge corresponds to a stronger, more reactive
