Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) In this single electron of shared pair moves to one of bonded atom and other to other atom.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Homolytic fission (sometimes referred to as hemolysis) is a type of bond fission that involves the dissociation of a given molecule wherein one electron is retained by each of the original fragments of the molecule. Therefore, when a neutrally charged molecule is subjected to homolytic fission, two free radicals are obtained as the product (since each of the chemical species retains one electron from the bond pair).
