Statement-I: Nucleophilic substitution reaction on an optically active alkyl halide gives a mixture of enantiomers. Because Statement-II: The reaction occurs by `S_(N^(1))` mechanism.A. If both Assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.C. if assertion is true but reason is false.D. If the assertion and reason both are false. |

Answer» Correct Answer - A In `S_(N^(1))` mechanism, racemization takes place, which is due to inverting nucleophilic displacement of halogen atom from the alkyl halide by the halide in solution. |
