CASE1: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions 52-54
Nucleophilic substitution reactions are of two types; substitution nucleophilic bimolecular (SN 2) and
substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1) depending on in molecules taking part in determining the rate of
reaction. Reactivity of alkyl halide towards SN1 and SN2 reactions depends on various factors such as steric
hindrance,
stability of intermediate or transition state and polarity of solvent. SN 2 reaction mechanism is favored mostly
by primary alkyl halide then secondary and then tertiary. This order is reversed in case of SN1 reactions.
