Question

Discuss SN1 and SN2 reaction mechanism of alkyl halide.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The SN2 mechanism is described mechanistically and kinetically as a one-step (concerted) reaction between two reactants (bimolecular) that inverts the configuration of the carbon at the reactive site. ... In the SN1 reaction, the solvent helps pull apart the halogen and carbon to form a halide and carbocation

Answer 2

Answer:

SN2 (substitution, nucleophilic, bimolecular) takes place in a single step without intermediates when a nucleophile reacts with the substrate(e.g. alkyl halide) from a direction opposite opposite to the leaving group.

SN1 (substitution, nucleophilic, unimolecular) is a first-order step, where the concentration of the nucleophile does not affect/appear in the rate-limiting step.
