Just to retire this question.....

Explanation:

$S_{N} 1$ $S_(N)1$ reactions are important because, as far as we know, they describe a mechanism of organic reactivity, of chemical reactivity. And they describe a BOND-BREAKING PROCESS, as compared to $S_{N} 2$ $S_(N)2$ reactions, which are bond-making processes with respect to the rate determining step.

$S_{N} 1$ $S_(N)1$ reactions are characterized by the loss of stereochemical activity. That is for $C R_{1} R_{2} R_{3} X$ $CR_1R_2R_3X$ , substitution results in the loss of chirality, due to a presumed $^{+} C R_{1} R_{2} R_{3}$ $""^+CR_1R_2R_3$ intermediate.
