Question

CH3CH2Cl undergoes homolytic fission to produce-
(a) CH3CH2& CI
(b) CH3CH2+& CI-
(c) CH3CH2+ & CI
(d) CH3CH2 & Cl-​

Answer 1

Answer:

d is crrect answer for the qustion

Answer 2

The correct option is a.

The correct option is a. $CH_3CH_2Cl$ undergoes homolytic fission to produce-$CH_3CH_2•+Cl•$.

• In homolytic fission the compound breaks down to produce free radicals.
• In the given compound $CH_3CH_2Cl$ a covalent bond is formed between ethyl group and chlorine group. In homolytic fission the covalent bond break and form ethyl free radical and chlorine free radical.
• $CH_3CH_2Cl\rightarrow CH_3CH_2•+Cl•$
