(I) Racemization

(B) lodoform

(II) Ozone depletion

(C) ${S_N}^1$

(III) Antiseptic

(D) Carbon tetrachloride

(IV) Inversion

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

( (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Correct Answer:

( (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

(A) SN2 → (IV) Inversion

  • SN2 reactions proceed via backside attack, causing inversion of configuration (Walden inversion).

(B) Iodoform → (III) Antiseptic

  • Iodoform (CHI₃) is a yellow crystalline solid with antiseptic properties.

(C) SN1 → (I) Racemization

  • SN1 reactions form a planar carbocation intermediate, which leads to racemization (mixture of enantiomers).

(D) Carbon tetrachloride → (II) Ozone depletion

  • CCl₄ is a chlorinated compound contributing to ozone layer depletion when released into the atmosphere.
