    in SN1 reaction first step is breaking of bond between alkyl group and leaving group so there is some amount of energy required to break bond so it is endothermic step while in 2nd step there is bond formation takes place between carbocation and nucleophile and we know that during bond formation energy release so it is exothermic step
