Question
**Question 2:**

Going from left to right, classify each halide as 1°, 2°, or 3°. Determine which substitution mechanism will most likely occur with the substrates shown below:

**Structures:**

1. **Structure 1**: A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to a primary carbon, which is connected to a linear alkyl chain.
2. **Structure 2**: A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to a secondary carbon in a branched alkyl chain.
3. **Structure 3**: A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to a tertiary carbon in a highly branched alkyl chain.
4. **Structure 4**: A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to a benzene ring, making it an aryl halide.
5. **Structure 5**: A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to a primary carbon in a simple linear chain.
6. **Structure 6**: A chlorine (Cl) atom is attached to a tertiary carbon in a branched alkyl chain.

For each structure, determine if the substitution mechanism is likely to be SN1 or SN2, considering the degree of the carbon where the chlorine is attached.
