Vedclass · Answer

(B) In an $S_{N}1$ reaction,the carbocation intermediate formed is planar,allowing the nucleophile to attack from either side,which leads to the formation of a racemic mixture (racemisation).In an $S_{N}2$ reaction,the nucleophile attacks the carbon atom from the side opposite to the leaving group,resulting in the inversion of configuration (Walden inversion).Therefore,the correct statement is that $S_{N}1$ leads to racemisation and $S_{N}2$ leads to inversion of configuration,which corresponds to option $(b)$.

	$S_{N}1$	$S_{N}2$
$(a)$	Retention of configuration	Inversion of configuration
$(b)$	Racemisation	Inversion of configuration
$(c)$	Inversion of configuration	Retention of configuration
$(d)$	Racemisation	Retention of configuration
