Substitution reaction is a reaction where one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon or a
An elimination reaction is a reaction where two substituent groups are detached and a double bond is formed.
The nucleophilic substitution reaction is a reaction where one of the hydrogens of a hydrocarbon or a functional group is substituted by any nucleophile.
A nucleophile is a molecule or atom with a negative charge.
