Question

87) Statement 1: Isopropyl chloride is more
reactive than CH3Br in Sp2 reaction.
Statement 2: Sn2 reactions are always
accompanied by inversion of configuration.
1) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but
Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of
Statement 1
2) Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and
the Statement 2 is correct explanation of the
Statement 1
3) This Statement 1 is true, but the Statement 2 is
false
4) This Statement 1 is false but the Statement 2 is
true
​

Answer 1

option 4 is corrrct

coz there is relatively less steric hinderance in CH3Br.

also ..sn2 always give inversion product because nucloephile attacks from the back side

Answer 2

Answer:

option 4

Explanation:

1. SN2 reaction is favoured by primary halides. Since CH3Br is a primary halide and isopropyl chloride is a secondary halide, CH3Br is more reactive towards SN2 reaction.

2. Sn2 reactions always give 100% inversion product.
