What type of alkyl halide is most suitable for an SN2 reaction?
Answer:
primary alkyl halide
SN2 reactions are favored by primary alkyl halides due to their linear shape, which allows for the backside attack by the nucleophile. Secondary and tertiary alkyl halides are less suitable due to the steric hindrance caused by the larger alkyl groups.
