Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Chemical reactions of alcohols and ethers

The leaving group capacity of the group in alcohols and O-atom of ethers can be increased by reacting them with ions of strong acid and by converting them into a better leaving group ${\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{O}$.

In this way, they participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Explanation

The given compounds alcohols, thiols, ethers, and epoxides undergo bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions. During these reactions, inversion of configuration will be observed around the carbon atom that bears halogen.
