Answer:
Since the carbocation assumes a planar shape, attack by the nucleophile can occur from either side of the plane. This leads to formation of a mixture of enantiomers, referred to as a racemic mixture. This is in contrast to SN2 which will only produce the inverted stereoisomer of the reactant.
