SN1 reaction represent unimolecular reaction & SN2 reaction represent biomolecular reaction
SN1 is complex reaction & SN2 is simple reaction
as its a multi step & its a single step reaction
SN1rate can be expresseds as K[R-L-G] &SN2 rate can be expressed as K'[R-L-G][NU-]

In summary, even though the SN1 and SN2 are both nucleophilic substitution reactions, there are some differences
1. For SN1 reactions, the step determining the rate is unimolecular, whereas for a SN2 reaction, it is bimolecular.
2. SN1 is a two- step mechanism, whereas SN2 is only a one-step process.
