MCAT Question of the Day
    •

    Q:

    		 Increased steric hindrance enhances the rate of SN1 reactions versus SN2 reactions because
    		 

    A

    		 it is more difficult for the nucleophile to attack a sterically-hindered molecule.

    B

    		 steric hindrance increases reactivity which makes SN1 reactions more likely.

    C

    		 steric hindrance protects the nucleophile from reacting with the solvent.

    D

    		 nucleophilic attack of sterically-hindered molecules is easier than non-sterically-hindered molecules.
