62The most important thing in most chemistry reactions is the stability of the product.
The leaving group when leaves forms an anion...
The stability of these is generally the best way to compare...
More stable => better leaving group...
So we need to decide more stable anions....
Anions will be more stable if we can accomodate the -ve charge better! (easily)
