In `CH_(3)CH_(2)OH,` the bond that undergoes heterolytic cleavage most readily is

A

C- C

B

C- O

C

C- H

D

O- H

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
O-H bond undergoes cleavage most readily because O and H has high electronegativity difference
Oxygen can accommodate the negative charge more effectively due to more electronegativity after cleavage.
