    Q1. Which alkyl halide undergoes SN1 reaction most readily?

    • A) CH3CH2Cl
    • B) (CH3)3CCl
    • C) CH3Cl
    • D) CH3CH2CH2Cl

    Answer: (CH3)3CCl

    Explanation: Tertiary alkyl halides are more stable and thus undergo SN1 reactions more readily due to the formation of a stable tertiary carbocation.
