Rationale for change
QID: 402744
Question asks to differentiate between an SN1 and SN2 preference for a primary and tertiary halide; question requires underingstanding preference for relative substitution and likelihood of undergoing SN1 or SN2 reactions.

Text
SN{{c2::2}} reactions prefer {{c1::methyl and primary}} substrates.
Extra
It is easy for the nucleophile to attack the carbon because the carbon is accessible (less steric hindrance)
| Substrate | polar aprotic solvent | polar protic solvent | strong small base | strong bulk base |
Methyl![]() | SN2 | SN2 | SN2 | SN2 |
Primary![]() | SN2 | SN2 | SN2 | E2 |
Secondary![]() | SN2 | SN1/E1 | E2 | E2 |
Tertiary![]() | SN1/E1 | SN1/E1 | E2 | E2 |
The reaction can proceed in 1 step
