what is homolytic fission and heterolytic fission .
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
1. HOMOLYTIC FISSION
In this, the ionic bond in a compound breaks in such a way that the electrons are equally distributed between the two atoms.
XY on homolytic fission will give neutral X and Y atoms.
No charge present in the resulting atoms.
2. HETEROLYTIC FISSION
In this, the ionic bond in a compound breaks in such a way that the electrons are unequally distributed between the two atoms. The more electronegative atom attracts electrons to itself acquiring negative charge.
XY on homolytic fission will give X and Y ions.
Charge present in the resulting atoms(ions).
Answer:
In heterolytic fission, a covalent bond breaks in such a way that one of the bonded atoms gets both of the shared electrons. ... In homolytic fission, a covalent bond breaks in such a way that each of the bonded atoms gets one of the shared electrons.
