Leaving group (halogen) leaves via heterolytic bond cleavage Nucleophile attacks

Question

Leaving group (halogen) leaves via heterolytic bond cleavage Nucleophile attacks at the same time leaving group leaves via heterolytic bond cleavage .Carbocation forms-maybe unstable carbocation rearranges to a more stable carbocation . Leaving group (halogen) leaves as nucleophile attacks carbon bonded to leaving group . 5 member transition state occurs Transition state collapses with opposite stereochemistry as reactant in product Transition state collapses with same stereochemistry as reactant in product Nucleophile attacks the carbocation from the right side producing one product exclusively Nucleophile attacks the carbocation from the left side producing one product exclusively Nucleophile attacks the carbocation from the both sides producing two products

Explanation / Answer

Incorrect one:-

1)Nucleophile attack at the same time leaving group leave via heterolytic bond cleavage. It is incorrect as leaving group attack after formation of carbocation.

2)5 member transition state occur. It occur in SN2 mechanism.

3)Transition state collapse with opposite stereochemistry as reactant in product. It occur in SN2 mechanism.

4)Nucleophile attack carbocation from right side producing one product respectively

5)Nucleophile attack carbocation from left side producing one product respectively. In SN1 nucleophile can attack from both sides
