How many specific types of charged ionic intermediates (total count of cations plus anions) are prod — GOC and Organic Chemistry Basics Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Heterolytic fission results in an unequal distribution of the bonding electron pair, forming exactly one cation (the atom that lost the electron pair) and one anion (the atom that took the electron pair). Thus, 2 charged intermediates are formed.
