When the molecule reacting with the electrophile is a strong nucleophile and a strong base, the substitution reaction is favoured when There is the least amount of crowding (steric hindrance) around the alpha carbon There is the most amount of crowding (steric hindrance) around the alpha carbon The leaving group is a strong base

What is the first step in an SN1 reaction? Group of answer choices Attack of the nucleophile. Loss of the leaving group. Protonation of the leaving group.
Substitution reaction
The SN1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the reaction, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonzero formal charges.
