ANSWER:

Most chemical reactions involve the breakage of existing chemical bonds and the formation of new ones. However, chemical bonds can be broken in MULTIPLE ways. Furthermore, the manner in which a chemical BOND breaks plays a vital role in deciding the overall outcome of the chemical reaction. The breakage of a chemical bond (usually a covalent bond) is often referred to as bond fission. The two primary types of bond fission are homolytic fission and heterolytic fission

Explanation:

Homolytic fission (sometimes referred to as hemolysis) is a type of bond fission that INVOLVES the dissociation of a given molecule wherein one electron is retained by each of the original fragments of the molecule. Therefore, when a neutrally charged molecule is subjected to homolytic fission, two free radicals are obtained as the product (since each of the chemical species retains one electron from the bond pair).

It can be noted that homolytic fission is also known as homolytic cleavage or bond homolysis. These TERMS are derived from the Greek root ‘homo’, and the term can be roughly translated as ‘equal breaking’.
