Which one of the following statements does not correctly describe unimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN 1) reactions of alkyl halides? (“>” means “reacts faster than”)

A) Carbocations are intermediates in unimolecular nucleophilic substitutions.

B) The order of decreasing reactivity as a function of leaving group is RI >RBr >RCl.

C) The order of alkyl bromide reactivity is R3 CBr >R2 CHBr >RCH2 Br >CH3 Br.

D) The rate of an SN 1 reaction depends on the concentration of the nucleophile.
