iii) Reaction proceeds with retention of configuration at the substitution centre.
iv) the order of reactivity is `3^(0)>2^(0)>1^(0)` .
v) the nucleophile must have an unshared electron pair and bear a negative charge.
vi) the greater the nucleophilicity of the nucleophile, the greater the rate of reaction.
