Expert Solution

Step 1: Introducing

In a process known as homolytic cleavage, a chemical bond is broken while allowing each atom to retain one of the two bonding electrons. Two radicals are created as a result of this, which are extremely reactive species having an unpaired electron on each atom. A dot (•) is used to signify the unpaired electron in radical. Energy input, such as heat or light, frequently causes homolytic cleavage.

When a chemical bond is broken through heterolytic cleavage, one atom keeps both of the bond's electrons while the other atom obtains none. Two ions, one positively charged (cation) and one negatively charged (anion), are created as a result of this. Usually, heterolytic cleavage happens when there are reagents or
