Tertiary alkyl halide are practially inert to substitution by `SN^(2)` mechanism because of-A. the carbocation formed is unstableB. there is steric hindraceC. there is inductive effectD. the rate of reaction is faster is `S_(N^2)` mechanism.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
In tertiary alkyl halides steric hindrance does not allow subsitution by `S_(N^2)` mechanism in which the numbleophile attacks on the carbon atom and the reaction takes place in single step.
