2 Heterolytic nucleophilic substitution:SN1 and SN2: halogenoalkanes with nucleophiles When carbon is bonded to a more electronegative atom This atom applies an inductive effect on the electrons in the bond, pulling the electrons towards it. This can result in complete heterolytic breakage of the bond. If the bond breaks heterolytically, two ions, a halide and a carbocation, are made. This can result in charge separation along the bond. Charge separation creates an electron deficient carbon atom which is a reactive site with a center of positive charge. either or

Stage 2 The carbocation is attacked by a nucleophile. This step is very fast, so the rate determining step is stage 1. The rate of stage 1 depends only on the concentration of halogen compound, so the kinetics are first order
