how many of the following responses are true a sn2 leads to a racemization of sterechemistry due

Hello students, we need to find out the true statements regarding SN2 and SN1 reaction. In case

understand the concept that in nucleophilic substitution reaction SN1 the alkyl halides follow t

So we have SN1 reaction and SN2 reaction. So SN1 reactions are the substitution nucleophilic uni

So, we have SN1 reaction and SN2 reaction. So, SN1 reactions are the substitution nucleophilic u

Question

a. SN2 leads to a racemization of sterechemistry due to the nucleophile attacking from the backside and the leaving group leaving. b. A primary alkyl halide will tend to react through an SN2 mechanism because there is little hindrance to backside attack and a primary carbocation is not very stable. c. 1-bromopentane will undergo substitution through an SN2 mechanism. d. If R-3-bromo-3-methylhexane is allowed to react with OH-, the product will be a 50%/50% mixture of R-3-methyl-3-hexanol and S-3-methyl-3-hexanol. e. SN1 leads to a racemization of sterechemistry due to the nucleophile attacking from the backside and the leaving group leaving.
