Heterolytic fission of a covalent bond i...

Heterolytic fission of a covalent bond in organic molecules gives

A

free radicals

B

cations and anions

C

only cations

D

only anions

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
During hetrolytic fission of a covalent bond, both the electrons of the shared pair are taken away by one of the fragments. This results in the formation of cations and anions. ltbr?
