Question
Chapter 3, Problem 12EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The leaving group in the given molecule is to be determined in order identify the positively charged and neutral fragments produced during mechanism.
Concept Introduction:
Heterolytic cleavage of sigma bond occurs under a variety of conditions. The mechanism of bond cleavage is as shown below,
The arrow in the above mechanism indicates that the sigma electrons form A-B bond are leaving A and becoming the exclusive property of B. Since the fragment A is formally losing one electron, it must become positively charged and B must become negatively charged since it gains an electron.

4) Hi, Can you solve the question 4 and make explanation please? and if you are gonna use handwrite please make sure that it is readable thank you.
Many free radicals combine to form molecules that do not contain any unpaired electrons. The driving force for the radical-
radical combination reaction is the formation of a new electron-pair bond.
Consider the formation of hydrogen peroxide.
