As a result, the bond cleavage in haloarene is difficult
than haloalkane and therefore, they are less reactive towards

(ii) Difference in hybridisation of carbon atom in C—X bond: In
haloalkane, the carbon atom attached to halogen is sp3
hybridised while in case of haloarene, the carbon atom attached
to halogen is sp2-hybridised
