Thus C X is broken by heterolytic fission resulting in a halide ion, X ".
2.
The latter two compounds are somewhat difficult to study individually because of the equilibrium between them . although sometimes dinitrogen tetroxide can react by heterolytic fission to nitrosonium and nitrate in a medium with high dielectric constant.
3.
For instance, when an acid dissolves in water, a covalent bond between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom is broken by heterolytic fission, which gives a proton ( H + ) and a negative ion.
4.
Radical formation through homolytic bond cleavage most often happens between two atoms of similar electronegativity; in organic chemistry, this is often between the O & ndash; O bond in heterolytic fission of bonds and a radical-based mechanism.
5.
Bromine monofluoride in ethanol readily leads to the monobromination of the aromatic compounds PhX ( " para "-bromination occurs for X = Me, Bu " t ", OMe, Br; " meta "-bromination occurs for the deactivating X = CO 2 Et, CHO, NO 2 ); this is due to heterolytic fission of the Br F bond, leading to rapid electrophilic bromination by Br +.
