Question
Which of the following alkyl halides will undergo SN1 reaction most readily?
Options
\[\ce{(CH3)3C-F}\]
\[\ce{(CH3)3C-Cl}\]
\[\ce{(CH3)3C-Br}\]
\[\ce{(CH3)3C-I}\]

Solution
\[\ce{(CH3)3C-I}\]
Explanation:
\[\ce{(CH3)3C-I}\] will undergo SN1 reaction most readily as C-I bond is weakest, due to the large difference in the size of carbon and iodine.
