For the reaction of ethylchloride with sodium hydroxide via the SN2 mechanism, we
get inversion of configuration because
NAOH
CH;CH2CI:
Select one:
O a. the reaction occurs in two steps with the formation of a transition state
complex.
O b. the leaving group leaves which allows the nucleophile to attack the alkyl
halide.
Oc. the leaving group leaves to form a transition state complex which favours
inversion of configuration.
o d. the nucleophile attacks the alkyl halide from the opposite side of the
leaving group whilst the leaving group is attached.
