Do all primary iodides react with N3- at the same rate via the SN2 mechanism? Explain.

No, not all primary alkyl react with N3- at the same rate via the SN2 mechanism. Some primary iodides are more hindered than others. (CH3)3CCH2I and CH3CH2I are both primary, but (CH3)3CCH2I is significantly more hindered. Additionally, some primary iodides have increased activity due to a benzylic or allylic positioning.
