Question:
The reaction intermediate produced, by homolytic cleavage of a bond is called
The reaction intermediate produced, by homolytic cleavage of a bond is called
Updated On: Jun 6, 2024
- carbene
- carbocation
- carbanion
- free radical
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
In homolytic cleavage, covalent bond is cleaved in such a way that each atom takes its shared electrons with itself and free radicals are formed.

Top Questions on reaction mechanism
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The dipole moment of R–CN is greater than R–NC and R–NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R–COOH.
Statement II: R–CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl$_2$, followed by the addition of NH$_3$ gives another compound (X). This compound (X) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl$_3$/KOH/$\Delta$ produces R–NC.

Hydrocarbons - Reaction Mechanism
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are entirely made up of only two kinds of atoms – carbon and hydrogen. Typically, hydrocarbons are colourless gases that have very weak odours.
Mechanism of electrophilic substitution reactions:
According to experimental evidences, SE (S = substitution; E = electrophilic) reactions are supposed to proceed via the following three steps:
- Generation of the electrophile
- Formation of carbocation intermediate
- Removal of proton from the carbocation interm
