Answer #1

SN2 : It is a Bi molecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. (It is not unimolecular)

The reaction does not produce any intermediate. In the reaction all bond fromation and bond breaking are takes place simultaneously. Hence it is called concerted reaction ( so no intermediate will be formed in the reaction )

In SN2 reaction, the nucleophile attacks from the opposite side to leaving group and produce inversion configuration product , in case of chiral alkyl halids (so Statement 3 only true)

answer: Diplacement occurs with inversion of configuration
