Heterolysis of a carbon -chlorine bond produces ?

Atwo free radicals
Btwo carbocation
Cone cation and one anion
Correct Answer
Dtwo carbanions.

Solution

In C-Cl bond , the electron pair is carried away by Cl atom due to higher electronegativity.
$$C-Cl\rightarrow { C }^{ + }+{ Cl }^{ - }$$
Hence , carbon cation and chlorine anion are formed.
