Circle the compound that will undergo SN1 reaction less readily.
The image depicts the structural formulas of two chemical compounds labeled as X and Y. Both structures are bicyclic, indicating that each compound consists of two fused cycloalkane rings.

- **Compound X**: The structure shows two cyclohexane rings fused together. A bromine atom (Br) is attached to one of the carbon atoms in the structure. The position and orientation of the bromine atom are denoted by its placement on the right side of the compound.

- **Compound Y**: Similar to compound X, compound Y is also composed of two fused cyclohexane rings. However, the bromine atom (Br) in this structure is positioned differently compared to compound X. The bromine atom is attached to a different carbon atom, placed on the left side, indicating a different stereochemistry.

These diagrams are important for illustrating different stereoisomers, which are compounds with the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements of atoms. The presence of the bromine atom in different positions affects the physical and chemical properties of these compounds.
