NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): SN1 reactions are more likely to occur with tertiary halides than with primary halides. | Reason (R): SN1 reactions involve the formation of a carbocation intermediate, which is stabilized by hyperconjugation and resonance.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
SN1 reactions proceed through a carbocation intermediate, which is more stable in tertiary halides due to hyperconjugation and resonance, as mentioned in the NCERT content.
