If your questions is about reactivity of halides thaen doward nucleophilic substitution reactions decreases with increase in steric hindrance. So in this way tertiory halides would be more stable and less reactive as comapre to primary halide.
Please recheck your question and if any part is missing than please write down it clearly so that we can provide you more meaningful help.
