`CH_(3)Cl` is unreactive towards `S_(N)1` reaction - why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Stability of the carbocation obtained in the first step (rate - determining step) of an `S_(N)1` reaction determines whether the reaction will take place or not. Since methyl cation `[overset(oplus)(C)H_(3)]` is a very ustable one, methyl chloride is unreactive towards `S_(N)1` reaction
