Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 4.7 Homolytic & heterolytic bond breaking
Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 4.7 Homolytic & heterolytic bond breaking
Practise separating homolytic and heterolytic fission by the particles formed and by the electron movement shown in mechanisms.
How this is tested
- distinguish homolytic fission forming free radicals from heterolytic fission forming ions
- interpret curly arrows as movement of an electron pair when ions are produced
