NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Tertiary halides are more reactive in SN1 reactions than primary halides. | Reason (R): Tertiary carbocations are 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
Tertiary halides are more reactive in SN1 reactions because the tertiary carbocations formed are stabilized by hyperconjugation and resonance, which enhances their reactivity.
