उत्तर
The SN2 process involves a transition state with both an incoming nucleophile and a leaving group surrounding the carbon atom. Five atoms are simultaneously bonded together. A transition state requires minimal steric hindrance. Hence, 1° alkyl halides are the most reactive to SN2, followed by 2° and 3°.
1° RX > 2° RX > 3° RX
Based on the above order, CH3CH2CH2CH2Br is more reactive.
