Definition: Bond Fission
Bond fission is the process of breaking a covalent bond of an organic compound, also known as bond cleavage.
CBSE: Class 12
Key Points: Types of Bond Fission
| Feature | Homolytic Fission (Homolysis) | Heterolytic Fission (Heterolysis) |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Bond breaks equally | Bond breaks unequally |
| Electron Distribution | Each atom gets one electron | One atom gets both electrons |
| Species Formed | Free radicals (A•, B•) | Ions (A⁺, B⁻) |
| Conditions | UV light, heat, peroxides | Polar medium, electronegativity difference |
| Example | Cl₂ → Cl• + Cl• | HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻ |
