Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): In SN2 reactions, the configuration of the carbon atom under attack is inverted. | Reason (R): The transition state in SN2 reactions involves partial bonds with both the attacking and leaving groups.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true, but R is false.
D
