HUMOLYTIC

1) Bond broken and electron goes to each fragment

2) Forms radicals

3) Contain one unpaired electron

4) Reactive and unstable

5) single headed arrow .

HETEROLYTIC

1) Both electrons go to more electronegative fragment

2) Forms ions

3) Cation - positive charge from loosing an electron

4) Anion- negative charge from gaining a long pair of electron

5) Double headed arrow

In heterolytic cleavage, a covalent bond breaks in such a way that one fragment gets both of the shared electrons.

In homolytic cleavage, a covalent bond breaks in such a way that each fragment gets one of the shared electrons.

Heterolytic Cleavage

The word heterolytic comes from the Greek heteros, "different", and lysis, "loosening".

If both atoms are originally uncharged, the process generates a cation and an anion.

Heterolytic cleavage is most likely to occur in polar bonds. The electrons move toward the more electronegative atom

An example is the heterolytic cleavage of the C-Br bond in t-butyl bromide.


Since Br is more electronegative than C, the electrons move to the Br. We get a t-butyl cation and a bromide anion.

Homolytic Cleavage

The word homolytic comes from the Greek homoios, "equal".

For example, the homolytic cleavage of a Br-Br bond i

Homolytic cleavage produces free radicals — atoms with unpaired valence electrons.
