Question

When considering the homolysis of a covalent bond $A-B$, which of the following assertions are chemically accurate?

Answer: A,B,C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Homolysis (unionic cleavage) results in the equal distribution of the shared electron pair, giving one electron to each atom. This forms neutral, reactive free radicals. It relies on energy input (heat, light) rather than polar solvents, which favor heterolysis.
