Detailed Solution

The reaction involving primary alkyl halide proceeds via SN2 mechanism. This brings about complete stereochemical inversion at the carbon atom. The SN2 mechanism is inhibited by increasing steric bulk of the groups attached to the carbon atom. The reaction may proceed via either SN1 or SN2 mechanism. Thus, the molecule may not show complete stereochemical inversion.
