What is the primary difference between SN1 and SN2 mechanisms?
Think about how many steps each mechanism has.
In nucleophilic substitution, what do we call the species that is replaced?
Consider what happens when a nucleophile attacks.
What type of mechanism does SN1 follow?
Think about how the reaction progresses.
In which type of haloalkane is SN2 favored?
Consider which structure allows faster attack by nucleophiles.
