In the heterolytic Fission of carbon-halogen bond in 2-methyl-2bromo propane the carbocation obtained
Answers
Answer:
Heterolytic fission, also known as heterolysis, is a type of bond fission in which a covalent bond between two chemical species is broken in an unequal manner, resulting in the bond pair of electrons being retained by one of the chemical species
Answer:
In the heterolytic fission of carbon-halogen bond in 2-methyl-2bromo propane, the carbocation obtained is C₆H₅⁻CH⁺( a benzylic carbocation).
Explanation:
Heterolytic fission is also known as hydrolysis, is the process by which covalent bonds are cleaved. In this type of fission, both the original electrons taking part in bonding from the other species are taken by the earlier bonded species.
An example of hydrolytic fission is Hydrogen chloride(HCl) fission. From the HCl one cation that is the hydrogen ion and one anion that is the chloride ion is obtained.
In the Carbon-halogen bond also two ions are obtained when the heterolytic cleavage occurs, due to the difference in the electronegativity.
Hence, in the 2-methyl-2bromo propane also the carbocation formed is the C₆H₅⁻CH⁺( a benzylic carbocation).
