Further, the rate difference between fluoro- and iodobenzene is even smaller. So it wouldn't surprise me if in some reactions or under different conditions (temperature, solvent, etc.) fluorobenzene reacted a bit faster (or slower) than iodobenzene. It would surprise me if fluorobenzene reacted >100 times faster than iodobenzene or vice versa. | |

In one of my exam question the answer was fluorobenzene is more reactive than iodine counterpart and iodobenzene is more reactive than both chlorine and bromine counterpart | |
