Expert Solution
Step 1

It is the type of bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction, where S stands for substitution and N stands for nucleophilic and 2 refers to that reaction as a bimolecular reaction.

These are the one-step reactions.

It involves the process where the attack of nucleophile and nucleophile leaves simultaneously in one step.

There is the formation of the single transition state.

The overall rate depends on a step in which two separate molecules collide.

In this reaction, the stereochemical configuration at the central carbon inverts as the reaction proceeds.
