• HOMO = Highest occupied molecular orbital.
• LUMO = Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital
• HOMO-LUMO interaction between nucleophile and substrate leads to formation of bond.
• HOMO of nucleophile and LUMO of alkyl halide.
• Non-bonding orbital or lone pair of CN is HOMO.
• Anti-bonding orbital of bromomethane is LUMO.
