The product formed during SN 1 reaction is a racemic mixture.

Class 12th Chemistry, Question -The product formed during SN 1 reaction is a racemic mixture.

Question 3:The product formed during SN1 reaction is a racemic mixture.

The correct answer is -During the SN1 mechanism, intermediate carbocation formed is sp2 hybridized and planar in nature. This allows the attack of nucleophile from either side of the plane resulting in a racemic mixture.
