 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.
