Q. The alkyl halide that undergoes $S_{N}1$ reaction more radily is

A) Ethyl bromide
B) Isopropyl bromide
C) Vinyl bromide
D) $n$-propyl bromide
Explanation

(c)
$S_{N}1$ mechanism involves the formation of carbocation intermediate. Hence, the species which gives the most stable carbocation readily undergoes $S_{N}1$ mechanism. $t$-butyl bromide gives the most stable carbocation, $i.e.,$ 3${^\circ}$ carbocation, so it readily undergoes $S_{N}1$ reaction.
