Answer:
In the SN1 reaction, the initial step in the creation of the transition state is a sluggish rate determining step.
Explanation:
In the SN1 reaction, the initial step in the creation of the transition state is a sluggish rate determining step.
The sluggish, or rate-determining, stage is the production of a carbocation.
The creation of a bond between the nucleophile and the carbocation occurs very quickly after that.
The reaction is unimolecular because only the substrate is involved in the slow stage.
