Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : (\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2) reactions are 'stereospecific', indicating that they result in the formation of only one stereo-isomer as the product. Statement (II) : (\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1) reactions generally result in formation of product as racemic mixtures. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  2. BStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer

D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution
