In tertiary alkyl halides steric hindrance does not allow substitution by $${S_N}2$$ mechanism in which the nudeophile attacks on the carbon atom and the reaction takes place in single step.

A compound $$X$$ with molecular formula, $${C_7}{H_8}$$ is treated with $$C{l_2}$$ in presence of $$FeC{l_3}.$$ Which of the following compounds are formed during the reaction?
55.
Consider the following anions.
When attached to $$s{p^3}$$ -hydridized carbon, their leaving group ability in nucleophilic substitution reaction decreases in the order :
Chlorination of alkanes is a free-radical reaction. Since the intermediate free radical is planar ( $$s{p^2}$$ hybridised ) it can be attacked on either side of the face forming racemic mixture.

In the reaction given below,
which of the following statements is correct
A
The reaction proceeds $$via\,{S_N}2$$ mechanism hence inversion of configuration takes place.
B
The reaction proceeds $$via\,{S_N}1$$ mechanism hence inversion of configuration takes place.
C
The reaction proceeds $$via\,{S_N}2$$ mechanism hence their is no change in the configuration.
D
The reaction proceeds $$via\,{S_N}1$$ mechanism hence there is no change in the configuration.
Answer :
The reaction proceeds $$via\,{S_N}2$$ mechanism hence inversion of configuration takes place.
Inversion of configuration takes place in $${S_N}2$$ mechanism.

In two separate experiments equal quantities of an alkyl halide, $${C_4}{H_9}Cl,$$ were treated at the same temperature with equal volume of 0.1 molar and 0.2 molar solutions of $$NaOH$$ respectively. In both the experiments, $${t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$$ of the two reactions were the same. The most likely structure of halide is
As it is independent of the concentration of $$NaOH.$$ So, it undergoes via $${S_N}1.$$ So, most likely the halide is tertiary halide.
