  1. Involves a carbocation intermediate
  2. Bimolecular reaction rate
  3. Involves a strong base
  4. Occurs with tertiary substrates

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of an SN2 reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand what SN2 means. SN2 stands for 'Substitution Nucleophilic Bimolecular'.
  • Step 2: Recognize that 'bimolecular' means that two molecules are involved in the reaction.
  • Step 3: Identify the two molecules: the substrate (the molecule being attacked) and the nucleophile (the attacking molecule).
  • Step 4: Know that the rate of an SN2 reaction depends on the concentration of both the substrate and the nucleophile.
  • Step 5: Conclude that a characteristic of an SN2 reaction is that its rate is affected by both reactants.
