Explain the hetrolytic fission of a covalent bond? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Hetrolytic cleavage is the process in which a covalent bond breaks unsymmetrically such that one of the bonded atom retains the bond PAIR of ELECTRON. (ii)It RESULTS in the formation of a cation and an anion of the two bonded atoms the most electronegative. (iii) For EXAMPLE in tert-butylbromide, the C-Br bond is polar as bromine is more electronegative than carbon.Hence the C-Br undergoes hetrolytic cleavage to FORM a tert-butyl carbocation and bromide anion.
