Hope it help you bubby please mark me please

Answer 2

Homolytic Fission

Homolytic Fission

Consider the fission of a single covalent bond in the substance X-Y

X-Y = X. + Y.

The dots in the equation represent unpaired electrons that came from the covalent bond. The electrons have been re-distributed equally and this is known as homolytic fission.

The following are real examples of homolytic fission.

Br-Br = Br. + Br.

Two identical bromine atoms are produced from a bromine molecule. As the atoms each have an unpaired electron, they are very reactive units.

This can also happen to bonds in certain organic molecules where R represents part of the organic molecule.

R-Y = R. + Y.

R. is also a reactive unit as it has an unpaired electron, but it cannot be described as an atom. It is known as a free radical.

Homolytic fission is more likely to happen in when the electrons are shared equally between the atoms involved in the fission.
