`CH_(3)CH_(2)Cl` undergoes homolytic fission, produces

Options

A. `CH_(3) overset(**)( C) H_(2)` and `overset(**)( C)l`
B. `CH_(3) overset(oplus) (C )H_(2)` and `Cl^(Theta)`
C. `CH_(3) overset(oplus) (C )H_(2)` and `overset(**) (C )l`
D. `CH_(3) overset(**) ( C) H_(2)` and `Cl^(Theta)`

Answer

B

Explanation

`CH_(3) CH_(2) -Cl overset("heterolytic") underset("fission") (to) CH_(3) overset(oplus) ( C) H_(2) + Cl^(-)`
Due to polarity of C–Cl bond and high electronegativity of Cl with respect to carbon, Cl is detached with a pair of electrons.
