Concept introduction:

Substitution reaction is the reaction in which one group is replaced by the other group present in the reaction medium. Substitution reactions are of two types. One is the intramolecular and other one is the intermolecular reaction. An intramolecular substitution reaction takes place within the molecule. An intermolecular substitution reaction takes place between two molecules.
