The intermediates in heteropolar reactions are

Step-by-step solution

Heteropolar reactions involve the heterolytic cleavage of a covalent bond, where the shared pair of electrons is taken by one of the bonded atoms. This unequal distribution of electrons results in the formation of charged species, namely a cation (positive ion) and an anion (negative ion). Therefore, the intermediates formed in heteropolar reactions are both anions and cations. Answer: Both anions and cations
