  1. Question 1

    Q1. The reactivity of alkyl halides towards SN1 reaction is?

    • A) 3° > 2° > 1° > CH3X
    • B) CH3X > 1° > 2° > 3°
    • C) 1° > 2° > 3° > CH3X
    • D) 2° > 1° > 3° > CH3X

    Answer: 3° > 2° > 1° > CH3X

    Explanation: SN1 reactivity increases with increasing alkyl substitution, hence 3° is most reactive.
