Definition
| Biomolecular Nucleophilic Substitution; one fluid concerted mechanism; favored in polar aprotic solvents; Methyl > primary > secondary> tertiary; rate is controlled by Nucleophile; optically inactive/ inverted products; forms with weak bases |

Definition
| Unimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution; Proceeds in 2 steps; favored in polar protic solvents; tertiary > secondary > primary > Methyl; rate controlled by concentration of leaving group; racemic products |

Term
|
Definition
| Bimolecular Elimination; favored in aprotic solvents; needs strong base to come in and remove hydrogen causing leaving group to disassociate as well; occurs with heat |
