i. Since Γ ion is a better leaving group than Br- ion, therefore, CH3I reacts faster than CH3Br in SN2 reaction with OH- ion.
ii. On steric grounds, 10 alkyl halides are more reactive than tert-alkyl halides in SN2 reactions.Therefore, CH3Cl will react at a faster rate than (CH3)3CCl in an SN2 S reaction with OH- ion.
