Paragraph III
Elimination reactions of alkyl halides are important reactions that compete with substitution reactions. An alkyl halide with hydrogen atoms on beta-carbon atom when reacted with a base or a nucleophile can undergo either substitution (`S_N1` and `S_N2`) or elimination. The path of the reaction will be determined by the nature of the alkyl halide, strength and size of the base/nucleophilie, reaction conditions and solvent used. In general, bulkier nucleophile acts as base and removes a proton because substitution is hindered due to steric reasons.
