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.
(C)
Bond cleavage by using curved-arrows to show the electron flow of the given reaction can be represented as;
It is heterolysis as shared pair of an electron is distributed to only bromine ion. Here the reaction intermediate is carbocation.
