`S_(N)2` reaction occurs with `"inversion of configuration" // "racemisation"`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether an \( S_N2 \) reaction occurs with "inversion of configuration" or "racemization," we can analyze the mechanism of the \( S_N2 \) reaction step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding \( S_N2 \) Reaction**: - The \( S_N2 \) reaction is a bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. It involves a nucleophile attacking an electrophilic carbon atom that is bonded to a leaving group. 2. **Mechanism of \( S_N2 \)**: ...
