**Question 2:**

Given the reaction:

\[ 
\begin{align*}
&\text{Reactant:} \\
&\quad \text{A molecular structure with bromine (Br), two hydrogens (H), two methyl groups (CH}_3\text{), and an ethyl group (CH}_2\text{-CH}_3\text{). Bromine is positioned on the left, with hydrogen opposite, methyl groups above and right, and the ethyl group below.} \\
&\text{Reaction:} \\
&\quad \text{+ NaI in Acetone} \quad \rightarrow \quad \text{product} \\
&\text{The S}_{\text{N}}^2 \text{ product of the reaction is:}
\end{align*}
\]

**Multiple Choice Options for Product:**

- (a) Iodine (I) at the left position, with hydrogen opposite, a methyl group above and right, and an ethyl group below.
  
- (b) Hydrogen at the left position, with iodine opposite, a methyl group above and right, and an ethyl group below.

- (c) Iodine at the left position, with a methyl group opposite, a methyl group above and right, and an ethyl group below.

- (d) Iodine at the left position, with hydrogen opposite, a methyl group above, and hydrogen below.

In this question, the reaction involves nucleophilic substitution (\(S_N2\)), where iodine from NaI displaces bromine in an inversion of configuration.
