Q. In an $S_N1$ reaction on chiral centres, there is :

AIPMTAIPMT 2015Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

$S_N1$ reaction gives racemic mixture with slight predominance of that isomer which corresponds to inversion because $S_N1$ also depends upon the degree of 'shielding' of the front side of the reacting carbon.
