NEET Chemistry Haloalkanes and Haloarenes / हैलोएल्केन तथा हैलोएरीन्स Question Bank Question - Assertion And Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion: Nucleophilic substitution reaction on an optically active alkyl halide gives a mixture of enantiomers. Reason: The reaction occurs by \[S{{N}^{1}}\] mechanism. Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] In \[S{{N}^{1}}\] mechanism, recemization takes place, which is due to inverting nucleophilic displacement of halogen atom from the alkyl halide by the halide in solution.
