Step-by-step solution
Heterolytic fission, also known as heterolysis, is a type of bond fission in which a covalent bond between two chemical species is broken in an unequal manner, resulting in the bond pair of electrons being retained by one of the chemical species (while the other species does not retain any of the electrons from the bond pair). When a neutrally charged molecule undergoes heterolytic fission, one of the products will have a positive charge whereas the other product will have a negative charge. Polar reactions occur w
