Bond strength decreases as halogen size increases due to weaker overlap: CH₃F > CH₃Cl > CH₃Br > CH₃I .
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 6: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes > Topic: Nature of C-X Bond and Methods of Preparation
Bond length increases with the size of the halogen. Among F, Cl, Br, and I, iodine is the largest, so CH₃-I has the longest C-X bond.

KNO₂ substitutes Cl via SN₂ , forming CH₃CH₂CH₂ONO (propyl nitrite), as NO₂⁻ bonds through oxygen.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 6: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes > Topic: Nature of C-X Bond and Methods of Preparation
Bond length decreases with smaller halogen size. CH₃F has the shortest C-X bond due to fluorine's small atomic radius.

SOCl₂ reacts with 1-butanol ( CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH ) to form 1-chlorobutane ( CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Cl ), producing SO₂ and HCl gases.
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 6: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes > Topic: Nature of C-X Bond and Methods of Preparation
SN₂ substitution with NaOH favors primary halides. CH₃CH₂I (iodide) reacts fastest due to the best leaving group.

KCN substitutes Br in CH₃CH₂CH₂Br via SN₂ , forming CH₃CH₂CH₂CN (butanenitrile).
Ref: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry > Chapter 6: Haloalkanes and Haloarenes > Topic: Nature of C-X Bond and Methods of Preparation
PBr₃ converts 1-butanol ( CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH ) to 1-bromobutane ( CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Br ) by replacing OH with Br.
