The video tutorial explains SN2, SN1, E2, and E1 mechanisms, focusing on how substrate type, nucleophile strength, leaving group ability, steric hindrance, and temperature influence which mechanism occurs. It provides examples for primary, secondary, and tertiary haloalkanes, highlighting the role of nucleophilicity and basicity, and discusses solvent effects on nucleophile strength.
