Question

1. Heterolytic fission of covalent bond results into formation of ________

(a) free radical

(b) carbenes

(c) carbanion

(d) neutral species​

Answer 1

Answer: Carbanion (c)

Explanation: These are generated by the heterolytic fission of a covalent bond involving carbon atom in which the atom linked to the carbon goes without the bonding electrons. As a result of this, carbon acquires a negative charge. When a group attached to carbon atom leaves without electron pair, methyl carbanion is formed.
