The SNreaction is a substitution reaction in organic chemistry. "SN" stands for nucleophilic substitution and the "1" represents the fact that the rate-determining step is unimolecular. Thus, the rate equation is often shown as having first-order dependence on electrophile and zero-order dependence on nucleophile.
electrophile means electron l;oving species and nucleophile means nucleaus loving species . 
sn2 – A Nucleophilic Substitution in which the Rate Determining Step involves 2 components. -
SN2 reactions are bimolecular with simultaneous bond-making and bond-breaking steps
it means substitution nucleophilic bimolecular . 
it obeys the 2nd order kinetics . 
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT 
ALL THE BEST ..
