Tertiary alkyl halides show higher reactivity towards bimolecular nucleophilic substitution than secondary alkyl halides.

Tertiary alkyl halides show higher reactivity towards bimolecular nucleophilic substitution than secondary alkyl halides. Correct Answer False

Tertiary alkyl halides have more alkyl groups present around the carbon linked to the halogen, which causes steric hinderance of the nucleophile and hence the reactivity towards SN2 reactions reduces significantly.
