SN1 vs SN2
How do you differentiate between the two? I know that one is unimolecular and the other is bimolecular. But if we were not given the mechanism of the reaction and not told that it is either SN1 or SN2, how do you know it is one over the other?

Re: SN1 vs SN2
This will be further discussed in Chem 14C and 14D. In this course, we did not cover SN1 reactions in class. Therefore, if you are asked about a substitution reaction, it will be SN2.
