MCQ
Which is a true statement concerning the transition state of an $S_{N^2}$ reaction ?
  • A
    Closely resembles a carbocation intermediate
  • B
    The electrophile is responsible for the reaction
  • C
    Lower is energy than the starting materials
  • Involves both the nucleophile and electrophile

Answer

Correct option: D.
Involves both the nucleophile and electrophile
d
$(d)$ For $S_{N^2}$ order $w.r.t.\, Nu$ is $1$ & order $w.r.t.$ substrate is one. if  reaction increases $10\, times$ when conc. of $(Nu)$ increases $10 \,times$.
