When a suitable alkyl halide is treated with a nucleophile, a substitution reaction can occur in which the leaving group is replaced by a nucleophile.

In an elimination reaction , hydrogen halide is removed and a leaving group is expelled, giving an alkene.

  • In nucleophilic substitution reactions ,nucleophile attacks on the  electrophilic group and replaces this group.
  • In an elimination reaction, certain atoms in pair are removed from the compound.
  • A Nucleophile is a electron rich reactant which provides electron in the reaction to form a bond.
  • An Electrophile is a electron deficient group which accepts the electrons from a electron rich group.
