A) Compound IV undergoes inversion of configuration

B) The order of reactivity for I, III, and IV is :IV >I >III

C) I and III follow $S_{N}1$ mechanism

D) I and II follow $S_{N}1$ mechanism

Answer:

Option C,D

Explanation:

(a) Both  I and II  are 10 halides, undergoes SN 2  reaction.

(b) III is a tertiary halide, undergoes SN 2 reaction. I is benzylic bromide, it is very reactive in SN 1 also as if produces stable benzylic carbonation.
