Concept Introduction:
Structure of the substrate plays major role in the reactivity of
Leaving group: It is a fragment that leaves the chemical compound with pair of electrons in a heterolytic bond cleavage. The
Down the group, atom size decreases which in turn reduces the tendency of atom for donating electrons and hence basicity decreases making them a better leaving group.
Nucleophile donates pair of electrons to positively charged substrate resulting in the formation of
