Organic Chemistry Help: Resonance and SN1/SN2

Hi everybody, I wanted to talk briefly today about resonance and sterics and how it can affect and SN1 or SN2.  For background, I hope everyone knows when it comes to SN1 reactions, tertiary substrates are the fastest and primary substrates are the slowest (because of carbocation stability).  Conversely, when it comes to SN2, it […]
