Question

12) The homolytic fission of C-C bond in ethane produces
a) free radicals
b) carbocations
c) carbenes
d) Carbanions​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) carbocation

Explanation:

I think it is right answer

Answer 2

The homolytic fission of the C-C bond in ethane produces free radicals.

• A single bond can be break in two ways- homolytic fission and heterolytic fission.
• The homolytic fission of a single bond always generates free radicals and the heterolytic fission of a single bond always generate ions.
• Thus the homolytic fission of the C-C bond in ethane generates free radicals.
• Hence the correct option is a.
