## Abstract In this survey paper the different possible theoretical ways of treating the __S__~__N__~2 reaction are explained. It is shown that, in the future, experience and theory will very likely complement each other.

✦ Synopsis
The Shannon entropies along the intrinsic reaction coordinates (IRC) of two S N 2 reactions were calculated at the RHF/6-31++G * * level. The resulting entropic profiles were compared with the corresponding energy profiles. The Shannon entropy profiles in position and momentum space, as well as their sum, show interesting features about the bond forming and breaking process that are not apparent from the conventional reaction energy profile.
