SN1 reaction is a _.
Correct answer: B. Two-step reaction
- A. Multi-step reaction
- B. Two-step reaction
- C. Concerted reaction
- D. Three-step reaction
Explanation
The SN1 reaction is a nucleophilic substitution reaction where the rate-determining step is unimolecular. It is a type of organic substitution reaction. SN1 stands for substitution nucleophilic unimolecular.The SN1 mechanism:In the slow, rate-determining step of the reaction, the bond between the carbon atom and the leaving group breaks to produce a carbocation and a leaving group. In the second, fast step, the carbocation reacts with the nucleophile to form the product.

About Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are named and related to their carbon-halogen structure, polarity and reactivity. The key reactions are nucleophilic substitution by SN1 and SN2 mechanisms and elimination by E1 and E2 mechanisms, including how substrate structure, nucleophile, base, solvent and temperature influence substitution versus elimination.
