Which statement from following is correct for hemolytic fission?
Options
- AIn this single electron of shared pair moves to one of bonded atom and other to other atom.
- BIn this electron deficient and electron rich species are formed.
- CIn this electronegative atom pulls both electrons of shared pair.
- DIn this carbon free radical formed has sp ^3 hybridisation.
Correct answer
A. In this single electron of shared pair moves to one of bonded atom and other to other atom.
Step-by-step solution
Homolytic fission (sometimes referred to as hemolysis) is a type of bond fission that involves the dissociation of a given molecule wherein one electron is retained by each of the original fragments of the molecule. Therefore, when a neutrally charged molecule is subjected to homolytic fission, two free radicals are obtained as the product (since each of the chemical species retains one electron from the bond pair).
