In this experiment, you will be looking at nucleophilic substitution reactions on alkyl halides, in which the halogen is replaced with another group.
There are two mechanistic pathways for these reactions, $S_N1$ and $S_N2$, which preferentially operate under specific circumstances.
1st attempt
Which of the following statements about nucleophilic substitution is INCORRECT?
Choose one:
OA. Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution ($S_N1$) reaction is a concerted reaction.
OB. The $S_N2$ mechanism has a rate that depends on the concentration of both reactants.
OC. A tertiary carbocation is more stable than a primary carbocation.
OD. A carbocation is an electrophile.
