Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The increasing order of the ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction for the compounds (A, B, C, D and E) is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The nucleophilic substitution reactions are the reactions in which one nucleophile is substituted by the other nucleophile. These reactions depend upon the nucleophilicity and concentration of the incoming nucleophile.

The ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ reaction is a nucleophilic substitution bimolecular reaction in which the addition of incoming nucleophile and removal of outgoing nucleophile takes place simultaneously. The rate of reaction depends upon both the substrate and reactant in the rate law equation.
