In the below reaction, the configuration of product is:
Correct answer: D. 100% opposite from configuration of reactant
- A. 100% same of the configuration of reactant
- B. 50% retained
- C. 50% inverted
- D. 100% opposite from configuration of reactant
Explanation
The reaction occurs with inversion of configuration. Thus, the nucleophile approaches the electrophilic carbon atom from the back and the leaving group simultaneously departs from the front of the substrate in the SN2 mechanism.

About Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry identifies and measures substances using separation and instrumental methods. Chromatography is studied through stationary and mobile phases, retention and Rf values, while spectroscopy connects absorption of electromagnetic radiation with molecular structure and supports qualitative and quantitative analysis through techniques such as UV-visible and infrared spectroscopy.
