In CH_(3)CH_(2)OH the bond that undergoes heterolytic cleavage most readily is:
Answer»
`C-C` `C-O` `C-H` `O-H`
SOLUTION :Electronegativties of C, H and O are `2.5, 2.1` and `3.5` respectively. The greatest electronagetivity difference is for `O-H` bond and as such it READILYUNDERGOES heterolytic CLEAVAGE most easily.
