Identifying Where Substitution and Elimination Reactions Happen
Identifying Carbons Where Substitution and Elimination Reactions Can Take Place Substitution and elimination reactions need a leaving group in order for them to occur. Look

Alcohols Can Act As Acids Or Bases (And Why It Matters)
Alcohols: The Conjugate Acid Is A Better Leaving Group, and The Conjugate Base Is A Better Nucleophile In the last post we explored some of the properties and
