Question

which cleavage/lysis leads to formation of free radicals ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Homolytic cleavage is the breaking of a covalent bond in such a way that each fragment gets one of the shared electrons. The word homolytic comes from the Greek homoios, "equal", and lysis, "loosening". Homolytic cleavage produces free radicals — atoms with unpaired valence electrons.

Answer 2

Homolytic cleavage leads to the formation of free radicals. Homolysis leads  to the formation of species that will contain an unpaired electron.

Homolysis and the free radical generation can occur under following condition-

1) Heat - The temperature should be more than 500 degree celcius.

2) electric spark

3) Ultraviolet light

4) Organic peroxide

5) Free radicals- One free radical generate another free radical and form chain reaction.
