In 2 N S mechanism nucleophile attacks the compound from opposite side of leaving group hence
the product obtained will have inverted configuration. If the alkyl halide taken is optically active
i.e if the reactant is d-isomer then the product is . vice-versa. This inversion of
configuration is called Walden inversion

In mechanism, the intermediate carbonium ion can be attacked by nuelcophile from either side. So
if the compound is optically active, then we get two compounds i.e compound with same
configuration and compound with inverted configuration. If equimolar mixture is obatined then it
is Racemic mixture.

in nucleophilic substitution reaction  stereo chemical observations are the  
1.the reaction is one steped or two steped reaction
2.reactivity order

Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, involves the study of the relative spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation. An important branch of stereochemistry is the study of chiral molecules.

dear kumar, stereo chemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry , involves the study of the relative spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation. then the stereo the alkyl halides are observed.

in organic and inorganic chemistry,nucleophilic substitution is a fundamental class of reactions in which an electron nucleophile selectively bonds with or attacks the negative or partially negative charge of an atom or a group atoms to replace.
