Shouldn't Sn2 be bimolecular nucleophilic substitution second order?
yes. this SN2 reaction must be of bimolecular nucleophiclic substituion second order reaction.
Incorrect, as mentioned below, although there are 2 reactants they both arent nececerily both first order, so the overall reaction order could be greater or less than 2. Obikirk ( talk) 21:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Sn2 has a bimolcular rate determining step, however this does not mean that Sn2 is always second order. For example the hydrolysis of TBC has Sn2 mechanism but is actually first order- water is of zero order and TBC is of first order so overall, reaction is first order.

Does someone want to be nice and write a section on Sn2' reactions so that I don't have to?
I think this section could do with a picture to clarify what it is trying to communicate. Does anyone know of a suitble example? Obikirk ( talk) 18:42, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Can someone explain how the reaction product of CH3SH with CH3I is a compound with S having three bonds? Simon de Danser ( talk) 05:24, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
