When considering nucleophilic substitution reactions which of
the following statements is NOT true?
An SN1 reaction at a chiral centre results in a
scrambling of stereochemistry.
An SN2 reaction at a chiral centre results in an
inversion of stereochemistry.
The use of bulky and/or basic nucleophiles can cause competing
elimination reactions.
Nucleophilicity can be determined based solely on
pKaH considerations.
Bromide is a better leaving group than chloride.
