Question

7. Heterolysis of -Ć - O bond, result in the
formation of
(a) carbocation
(c) both a & b
(b) carbanion
(d) free radicals​

Answer 1

Answer:

carbocation

Explanation:

Due to the difference in the electronegativities of C and Brheterolytic fission will result into the formation of a positively and a negatively charges ion. Br being more electronegative shifts the bond pair of electrons towards itself and on breaking of bond it takes away the bond pair of electrons and acquires a negative charge. Thus, forming an anion. Whereas, C being less electronegative than Br loses the pair of electron and acquires a positive charge, thus, forming a carbocation.
