Question

SN2 reactions are accompanied by ____

Answer

SN2 reactions are accompanied by an inversion of relative configuration.
S N 2 reactions are accompanied by an inversion of relative configuration.
Note: The following image represents an SN2 reaction.
Rate=k[Nu:][R–L].
Note: The following image represents an SN1 reaction.
Rate=k[R–L].
Note: We can’t use nonpolar solvents in these nucleophile–electrophile reactions because our reactants are polar—they wouldn’t dissolve!
