Question

HU (S)-(1-Bromoethyl) benzene Planar, achital Figure 7-3 Racemization upon SNT benzene. Initial ionization furnishes a p water, yields racemic alcohol. он (R)-1-Phenylethanol Racemic mixture nization upon Sn1 hydrolysis of the chiral and optically pure (SH1-bromoethyl on Turnishes a planar, achiral carbocation. This ion, when trapped with Exercise 7-3 3-Bromo-3-methylhexane loses its optical activity when dissolved in nitromethane, a highly polar but nonnucleophilic solvent. Explain by a detailed mechanism. (Caution: When writing mechanisms, use "arrow pushing" to depict electron flow; write out every step separately; formu- late complete structures, including charges and relevant electron pairs, and draw explicit reaction arrows to connect starting materials or intermediates with their respective products. Don't use shortcuts, and don't be sloppy!) Solved Exercise 7-4 Working with the Concepts: Stereochemical Consequences of Sn 1 Displacement

I don't quite understand how to draw the shape and how the whole question will progress please explain how it will look and why and how to solve this question - thank you
