Fundamental Concepts of Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms I
Types of Bond cleavage Homolytic cleavage: Homolytic fission is where each atom of the bond keeps an electron each resulting in species called free radicals. R−X→R∙+X∙ Homolytic cleavage occurs generally in the gas phase or in solution in non-polar Solvents and is catalyzed by ultraviolet light or high temperature of or by radical initiators such as Read more about Fundamental Concepts of Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms I[…]
