The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is an example of an `S_N2` reaction, we need to understand the characteristics of `S_N2` reactions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding `S_N2` Reactions**: - `S_N2` stands for bimolecular nucleophilic substitution. This means that the rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of both the substrate (alkyl halide) and the nucleophile. - It is a second-order reaction. 2. **Identifying Alkyl Halides**: - `S_N2` reactions are most favorable with primary (1°) alkyl halides. This is because they allow for a backside attack by the nucleophile, which is essential for the mechanism of `S_N2`. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - If given multiple options, we need to identify which ones are primary alkyl halides. - A primary alkyl halide is one where the carbon attached to the halogen is bonded to only one other carbon atom (or is a methyl group). 4. **Analyzing Each Option**: - For each option provided, determine if it is a primary, secondary (2°), or tertiary (3°) alkyl halide. - Recall that secondary and tertiary alkyl halides do not favor `S_N2` reactions due to steric hindrance. 5. **Selecting the Correct Answer**: - After evaluating all options, select the one that is a primary alkyl halide, as this will be the example of an `S_N2` reaction. ### Conclusion: - The correct answer will be the option that represents a primary alkyl halide.

The high reactivity of alkyl halides can be explained in tems of nature of C-X bond which is highly polarised covalent bond due to large difference in the electronegativities of carbon and halogen atom. This polarity is responsible for the nucleophilic substitution reaction of alkyl halides which mostly occur by S_(N^(1)) and S_(N^(2)) mechanisms. S_(N^(1)) reaction is a two step process and in the first step R-X ionises to give carbocation (slow process). In the second step the nucleophilic attacks the carbocation from either side to form the prodcut (fast process) . In S_(N^(1)) reaction there can be reacemization and inversion . S_(N^(1)) reaction is favoured by heavy (bulky) groups on the carbon atom attached to halogens. i.e., R_(3)C-Xgt R_(2)CH-Xgt R_CH_(2)X gt CH_(3)X. " In " S_(N^(2)) reaction the strong nucleophilie OH^(-) attacks from the opposite side of the chlorine atom to give an inyermediate (transition state). which breaks to yield the product (alcohol) and leaving (X^(-)) group. The alcohol has a configuration opposite to that of the bromide and is said to proceed with inversion of configuration. S_(N^(2)) reaction is favoured by small groups on the carbon atom attached to halogen i.e., CH_(3)-X gt R-CH_(2)X gt R_(2) CHX gt R_(3) C-X Which of the following is an example of S_(N^(2)) reaction ?
