MEDIUMMCQ SINGLENEET ChemistryInorganic ChemistryAlkyl and Aryl HalidesE elimination follows an antiperiplanar structure

Assertion: Consider the following SN2 reactions. (I) and (II) Reaction (II) occurs at a faster rate than (I) Reason: Anion of reaction (II) is a stronger base than the anion of reaction (I).

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.D✓ Correct

Explanation

Reaction I occur at a faster rate than reaction II because the anion in reaction II is a stronger base than the anion in the reaction I and the rate of the N S 2 reaction the strong nucleophile (The species which can donate electrons are known as nucleophiles) is used. The reason is true but the assertion is false. Hence, the correct answer is option (d)
