The SNreaction is a substitution reactionin 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...
EXAMPLE – THE REACTION OF Hbr with a Tertiary alcohol . 

. SN2 indicates a substitution, nucleophilic, bimolecular reaction,
described by the expression rate = k [Nu][R-LG]. This implies that the rate determining step involves an interaction between two species, the nucleophile and the organic substrate..
EXAMPLE – NaI with primary alkyl hallides .
