Q. In $S_{N^1}$ reaction, . the recimisation takes place due to

The p-Block Elements

Solution:

$S_{N^1}$ reaction involves formation of carbocation which are planar ($sp^2$-hybridised) and thus can be attacked on either side of carbon.
Primary amines react with $CHCI_3$ in alcoholic KOH to form isocyanides $(Carbylamine\, reaction)$.
