IB Chemistry Topic 20.1 (HL): Types of organic reactions - Part 2

This video dives into the next reaction mechanism, nucleophilic substitution of halogens to form alcohols. The two mechanisms by which this occurs: SN2 and SN1, are both introduced. The video discusses how SN2 is stereospecific whereas SN1 is not, with example questions. Next, the preference of primary and tertiary halogenoalkanes are outlined. The video finishes by discussing the impacts of the halogen, nucleophile, and solvent on reaction rate.
