• A. The reaction proceeds via $S_{N}2$mechanism hence inversion of configuration takes place.
• B. the reaction proceeds via $S_{N}1$mechanism hence inversion of configuration takes place.
• C. the reaction proceeds via $S_{N}2$mechanism hence there is no change in the configuration
• D. the reaction proceeds via $S_{N}1$mechanism hence there is no change in the configuration

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The reaction proceeds via $S_{N}2$mechanism hence inversion of configuration takes place.

Answer 2
