Answer:
For SN1 reactions, the step determining the rate is unimolecular, whereas for a SN2 reaction, it is bimolecular. SN1 is a two-step mechanism, whereas SN2 is only a one-step process. During SN1 reactions, the carbocation will form as an intermediate, whereas, during SN2 reactions, it is not formed.

Answer:
SN1 Reaction
- The rate of reaction is unimolecular.
- It is a two step mechanism
- Carbocation is formed as an intermediate part of the reaction.
- There is no partial bond formed with the carbon during this reaction.
- There are many steps in this reaction which start with the removal of the group while attacking the nucleophile.
SN2 Reaction
- The rate of reaction is bimolecular
- It is only a one step mechanism
- No carbocation is formed during the reaction.
- Carbon forms a partial bond with the nucleophile and the leaving group.
- The process takes place in only one cycle, with a single intermediate stage
