SN1 reaction mechanism follows a step-by-step process wherein first, the carbocation is formed from the removal of the leaving group. Then the carbocation is attacked by the nucleophile. Finally, the deprotonation of the protonated nucleophile takes place to give the required product.

Answer:
The SN1 reaction - A Nucleophilic Substitution in which the Rate Determining Step involves 1 component.
-SN1 reactions are unimolecular, proceeding through an intermediate carbocation.
-SN1 reactions give racemization of stereochemistry at the reaction centre.
-The first step is slower and therefore determines the rate.
-Neighbouring group participation is SN1 reactions can be important.
