Write the products of homolysis or heterolysis of each bond (a) H3C-CH3 (b) O2N-N2O(c) CH3O-H (d) H3CH2C-MgBr organic chemistry?
1 Answer
See below.
Explanation:
(a) Homolysis because we are cleaving a bond between two identical atoms.
(b) Homolysis because we are cleaving a bond between two identical atoms.
(c) Heterolysis, because we are cleaving a bond between two unlike atoms.
The more electronegative atom gets the negative charge.
(d) Heterolysis, because we are cleaving a bond between two unlike atoms.
The more electronegative atom gets the negative charge.
