NEET Chemistry SN1 & SN2 Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about SN1 and SN2 reactions is correct?
SN1 reactions generally proceed with the formation of a stable carbocation intermediate.
SN2 reactions favor tertiary halides due to steric hindrance.
SN1 reactions are characterized by a bimolecular mechanism.
SN2 reactions involve a two-step mechanism with carbocation formation.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
SN1 reactions involve the formation of a stable carbocation intermediate and proceed in two steps, as described in the NCERT context. SN2 reactions, on the other hand, involve a one-step mechanism and are favored by primary halides.
