- A IV \( <\) II \( <\) I \( <\) III
- B I \( <\) III \( <\) II \( <\) IV
- C IV \( <\) III \( <\) II \( <\) I
- D I \( <\) II \( <\) III \( <\) IV
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) I \( <\) III \( <\) II \( <\) IV
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The rate of an \(S_{N}1\) reaction depends on the stability of the carbocation intermediate formed after the departure of the leaving group (bromide ion). The more stable the carbocation, the faster the \(S_{N}1\) reaction. The carbocations formed from the given compounds are:…
