Answer

Step by step solution

01

SN2 reaction

It is a nucleophilic substitution reaction in which old bond is break and new bond is formed both the process occur simultaneously. Hence, it’s a single step reaction.

The two reacting species are involved in the rate determining steps.

02

Reactivity towards SN2 reaction

As the reaction is single step reaction so, no intermediate is formed andSN2 occur fast with primary alkane than secondary alkane.

SN2 occur fast with those reacting species which have best leaving group

So,

Reactivity order
