Explain the mechanism of nucleophilic bimolecular substitution SN2 reaction.
Explain the mechanism of nucleophilic bimolecular substitution SN2 reaction.
The SN2 reaction involves a one-step mechanism where the nucleophile attacks the substrate, leading to inversion of configuration.
What is the molecularity of a reaction and how is it different from the order of a reaction?
What is the molecularity of a reaction and how is it different from the order of a reaction?
Molecularity of a reaction is the number of molecules that participate in the rate-determining step, while the order of a reaction is the sum of the powers of the concentrations of the reactants in the rate law equation.
Explain the mechanism of Nucleophilic unimolecular substitution SN1 reaction with one example.
Explain the mechanism of Nucleophilic unimolecular substitution SN1 reaction with one example.
SN1 reaction involves a two-step process where the leaving group leaves first, forming a carbocation, then the nucleophile attacks. An example is the hydrolysis of tert-butyl chloride.
