Answer to Question #158424 in Organic Chemistry for Angel

Question

Using equation only differentiate between heterolytic and homolytic bond fission

Answer 1

The key difference between homolytic and heterolytic fission is that the homolytic fission gives one bond electron to each fragment whereas the heterolytic fission gives two bond electrons to one fragment and none of the bond electrons to the other fragment. Fission is the destruction of a covalent chemical bond
