Abstract
Alkanes, with their strong, low polarity C—C and C—H bonds, rarely participate in ionic reactions unless some heteroatom is present. The common heteroatoms such as halogen, oxygen and nitrogen are all more electronegative than carbon. The substituted carbon atoms are therefore cationoid and susceptible to nucleophilic attack; hence the predominance of SN reactions in aliphatic chemistry.
