Key Points: Types of cleavage of covalent bond
| Homolytic cleavage | Heterolytic cleavage |
|---|---|
| The symmetrical breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms such that each atom retains one electron of the shared pair. | The unsymmetrical breaking of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that the more electronegative atom acquires both the electrons of the shared pair. |
| Formation of free radicals (uncharged species) bearing unpaired electrons takes place. | Formation of charged species called ions, like carbocation or carbanion takes place. |
 |
 |
| Favourable in a non-polar solvent. | Favourable in a polar solvent. |
