-SN2 reaction is a basic reaction type in organic chemistry. The letter S<sub>N</sub> stand for nulceophilic Substitution, the number 2 stands for bimolecular. This means that both reactions partners are involved in the reaction rate determining step. It also exists an S<sub>N</sub>1 reaction; here, only one reaction partner is involved in this step.

-On the other side, SN2 reactions are characterised for exchanging substituents. The substituent that leaves the molecule is called leaving group.

-The S<sub>N</sub>2 <jmol><jmolLink><script>anim mode once; frame range 1 10; delay 0.5; frame play</script><text>reaction starts</text></jmolLink></jmol> by establishing a so called intermediate state.  This means that both educts come close to each other. By this, the bond of the leaving group is partly broken, and the bond to the new group is partly formed. The formation of this intermediate state is the rate determining step of the reaction.
