In C2H5OH which bond undergo heterolytic cleavage
Answers
Answered by

Heterolytic fission occurs when the two atoms
differ considerably in their electronegativities.
O – H bond undergoes cleavage most readily because O and
H differ markedly in their electronegativity
and further oxygen being highly electronegative can accommodate the
negative charge more effectively developed after the cleavage.
