In SN2 Reaction, the product will be formed in a single step with no intermediates. Nucleophile attack will be easier for simple halides than hindered haloalkanes. Therefore,

- Bromobutane (1°)reacts faster than 2-Bromobutane (2°)
- 2-Bromobutane (2°) reacts faster than 2-Bromo-2-methylpropane or tert-Bu
