Online Chemistry Notes: SN2 Energy Diagram (Organic)
Here is the Energy Diagram for an SN2 reaction. You can see a strong nucleophile ( and sometimes it acts as a strong base) attacking a substrate with very little steric hinderence. At the same time, it kicks off a large electronegative leaving group. Enjoy:
