MCQ
Given below are two statements :
Statement $(I) : S_N2$ reactions are 'stereospecific', indicating that they result in the formation only one stereo$-$isomers as the product.
Statement $(II) : S_N1$ reactions generally result in formation of product as racemic mixtures. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct
answer from the options given below :
  • A
    Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  • B
    Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  • C
    Both Statement I and Statement II is true
  • D
    Both Statement I and Statement II is false

Answer

$SN^2 \rightarrow$ Inversion
$SN^1 \rightarrow$ Racemisation
