Answer:
The PH2 becomes attached to the alkyl halide with inversion of configuration
Explanation:
SN2 reaction involves the simultaneous attachment of the nucleophile as the leaving group departs. This leads to an inversion of configuration because the sterochemistry around the carbon bearing the leaving group is reversed. The reaction proceed via a crowded five coordinate transition state. Details are shown in the image attached.
