12.16 For the following bond cleavages, use curved-arrows to show the electron flow and classify each as homolysis or heterolysis. Identify reactive intermediate produced as free radical, carbocation and carbanion.
(a)
Bond cleavage by using curved-arrows to show the electron flow of the given reaction can be represented as
It is an example of homolysis because the two electrons are equally divided into the products.(see in fig)
