The intermediates in heteropolar reactions are
- A Free radicals only
- B Cations only
- C Anions only
- D Both anions and cations
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Both anions and cations
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Heteropolar reactions involve the heterolytic cleavage of a covalent bond, where the shared pair of electrons is taken by one of the bonded atoms.
This unequal distribution of electrons results in the formation of charged species, namely a cation (positive ion) and an anion (negative ion).
Therefore, the intermediates formed in heteropolar reactions are both anions and cations.
Answer: Both anions and cations
