Homolytic and heterolytic fission
Just wondering if someone could let me know how you know if something breaks by homolytic or heterolytic fission please???
I know homolytic the election bond breaks and electrons are shared evenly making two radicals but how do you know whether a molecule breaks by homolytic fission or not???

When a bond breaks by homolytic fission you get free radicals
When a bond breaks by heterolytic fission you get a positive and a negative ion
