What is SN1 Reaction: Racemisation Explained about?

In SN1 reactions, racemisation occurs due to the formation of a planar carbocation, allowing nucleophiles to attack from both sides. This results in 50% of the products retaining the original configuration and 50% exhibiting inversion, leading to a racemic mixture that is optically inactive. The document also mentions the two-step mechanism involved in this process.
