**Question 8:**

Which of the following alkyl halides undergo rearrangement in S<sub>N</sub>1 reaction?

- (a) A molecule with a structure: 
  - CH<sub>3</sub>
  - |
  - CH<sub>3</sub> - C - CH - CH<sub>3</sub>
  - |
  - CH<sub>3</sub>   I
  
- (b) A cyclohexane ring with substituents: 
  - One chlorine (Cl) atom
  - A methyl (CH<sub>3</sub>) group
  
- (c) A cyclohexane ring with one iodine (I) atom as a substituent.
  
- (d) All of these

**Diagrams Descriptions:**
- Diagram (a) represents a branched alkyl iodide with an iodine atom and three methyl groups.
- Diagram (b) represents a cyclohexyl chloride with one chlorine atom and one methyl group as substituents.
- Diagram (c) represents a cyclohexyl iodide with one iodine atom as a substituent.

In an S<sub>N</sub>1 reaction, carbocation rearrangement is possible, making the stability of the carbocation an essential factor in predicting rearrangement.
