SN2-bimolecularnuclophilic substitution reaction and SN1 is unimolecularsubstitution reaction.

for SN2

R-Cl+Nu------->R-Nu+Cl-

eg:CH3-Cl+OH- ---->CH3-OH+CL-

Rate depends on concentration of CH3-Cl and OH-

its order of reactivity is primary>secondary>tertiary

here strong base is used

it occurs in single step

intially the bond between CH3 and Cl is broken and OH- is added to Ch3

 

For SN1

tertiary alkyl halide reacts with weak base

rate depends on concentration of alkyl halide

here order of reactivity is tertiary>secondary>primary

it occurs in two steps

intially tertiary carbocation is formed and in second step  nucleophile is added

note: i cant write equation for SN1 due to bond representation between carbon
