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 READILY UNDERGOES heterolytic CLEAVAGE most easily.
