Answer:
Explanation:
When the configuration of both the reactant and product is same, the product is said to have retained the configuration. For ex. in SNGP reaction product is formed with retention of configuration.
When the formed product has different configuration than that of the reactant, the product is said to have the inverted configuration.
For ex. in SN2 reactions product is formed with inversion of configuration.
