Chad breaks down how to distinguish which mechanism(s) a reaction is likely to proceed through: SN1, SN2, E1, and/or E2. Chad explains how to classify the nucleophile/base and the substrate (and to a lesser extent the solvent) to identify the appropriate mechanism(s) and predict the products.

Happy Studying!
