Hi Abdullah,

This is E2 because of the bulky base, tertoxide OC(CH3)3, this specific base is only used in E2 reactions. The overall reason for this is because that base is way too hindered to complete an SN2 reaction. You'll see this explained with examples in the E2 Lesson video below at timestamps 01:34 (SN2 vs E2) and 10:42 (Anti-Zaitsev).

Hi Ess,

We don't have downloadable slides to go along with the lessons at this time but our team will consider this for the future.

No it doesn't as long as they are both going in the same direction. Up and Up or Down and Down. 

You'll find examples of this at 0:50 of this video.
