Designate the species as electrophile or nucleophile obtained on heterolytic cleavage of C - C bond in ethane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Ethane undergoes heterolytic bond flssion to give a carbocation (methyl cation, `overset(oplus)©H_(3)`) and a carboanion (methyl anion, `overset(Theta)(C )H_(3)`). Methyl cation is an electrophile, while methyl anion is a nucleophile.
