💡 Solution & Explanation

Correct answer: \(\text{D}\). For substitution, \(\mathrm{S_N1}\) follows carbocation stability and may rearrange/racemise; \(\mathrm{S_N2}\) requires backside attack and gives inversion. Recovered question text: 3. Which of the following statement regarding SN2 reaction shown by alkyl halides is not correct? (a) The conversion of reactants to transition state is the rate determining step. (b) The SN2 reaction involves the inversion of the stereochemistry around carbon atom of the substrate. (c) The rate of reaction depends on the steric bulk of the alkyl group. (d)
