4.7—Bond breaking can be: i homolytic, to produce free radicals ii heterolytic, to produce ions

Understand that bond breaking can be: i homolytic, to produce free radicals ii heterolytic, to produce ions.

Use —bond breaking can be: i homolytic, to produce free radicals ii heterolytic, to produce ions to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because —bond breaking can be: i homolytic, to produce free radicals ii heterolytic, to produce ions determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —bond breaking can be: i homolytic, to produce free radicals ii heterolytic, to produce ions to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Bond breaking can be: i homolytic, to produce free radicals ii heterolytic, to produce ions is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
