I have a few questions: halogenoalkane nucleophilic substitution with OH- 1.Why do primary halogenoalkanes follow sn2 mechanism and not sn1?
2. Why does sn1 occur in tertiary halogenoalkane and not sn2?
3. What mechanism occurs in secondary halogenoalkanes and why?
Thanks a lot. I am studying for edexcel and i couldnt find the exact info anywhere( perhaps because i didnot scan every page)
