2.C connected to the Leaving Group is tertiary (sometimes

3.The solvent used is polar protic (water and alcohols, etc.)
SN2 will be faster if:
1..Reagent is a strong base.
2.C connected to the LG is primary or a methyl group
(sometimes secondary)

3.The solvent used is polar aprotic (DMF, DMSO, etc.)
