Sn1 and Sn2: Science Videos

This series covers Sn1 and Sn2 reactions, two of the most important reaction types in organic chemistry. In these reactions, one part of a molecule is swapped out for another. You will learn how each reaction works step by step, how to predict which one will happen, and how solvents affect the outcome. You will also compare them to elimination reactions. You should know the basics of organic chemistry, including molecular structure and naming.
