Question

Which among the following is most reactive to give nucleophilic addition?

A. $$FC{H_2}CHO$$  
B. $$ClC{H_2}CHO$$
C. $$BrC{H_2}CHO$$
D. $$IC{H_2}CHO$$
Answer :   $$FC{H_2}CHO$$
Solution :
$$FC{H_2}CHO$$    is most reactive towards nucleophilic addition since presence of most electronegative $$F$$ withdraws electrons from carbon of carbonyl group making it more polar.
