In an SN2 reaction, the mechanism involves a nucleophile attacking the substrate molecule from the backside, leading to a transition state where the nucleophile is partially bonded to the substrate and the leaving group is starting to detach. This concerted process occurs in a single step, with the transition state having a high energy level.
