Does the nucleophile play a crucial role in an SN1 reaction?
gpt
In an SN1 reaction, the nucleophile doesn't matter as much because the rate-determining step is the loss of the leaving group to form the carbocation.
Explanation: In an SN1 reaction, the formation of a carbocation is the rate-determining step, and the nucleophile can quickly attack the carbocation, making the nucleophile's type and strength less important.
