Why do stronger nucleophiles favor SN2 reaction mechanism?

 

Why do stronger nucleophiles favor SN2 reaction mechanism?

 

A stronger nucleophile is a highly electron rich or fully negative charge species. It has been experimentally found that the stronger nucleophile favor SN2 reaction mechanism.

They have a tendency to react with carbocation more quickly, before a leaving group would have a chance to dissociate and proceed through an SN1 reactionmechanism.
