Explain heterolytic fission, in which both bonding electrons stay with one fragment to form a cation and an anion, write equations for it and use curly arrows to show the movement of electron pairs, contrasting it with homolytic fission.
Compound Y undergoes nucleophilic substitution with a hydroxide nucleophile. (i) Describe the movement of electron pairs during the reaction using curly arrows. (ii) Contrast homolytic and heterolytic fission of the C–Cl bond in compound Y. (iii) Explain,…

(i) Write an equation for the homolytic fission of a bromine molecule under UV light, using curly arrows to show the movement of electrons. (ii) Under different conditions a bromine molecule can undergo heterolytic fission. Write an equation for this process,…
