Which of the following statements is true?
A.Bond forming from two radicals is known ashomogenesis. B.Bond forming from a cation and an anionis known ashomogenesis.C. Bond forming from two radicals is known ashomolysis. D. Bond forming from a cation and an anionis known asheterolysis.
Statement A. is true. Let us discuss each of them one by one.
Homogenesis is related to formation of a new species with the combination of similar type of species because homo refers to same, whereas bond forming from cation and anion is not called homgenesis because cation and anion are different from each other. Bond forming from two radicals is homogenesis because in this case similar kind of species i.e. radicals are combining.
Whereas if we talk about option c and d, homolysis refers to the breaking of a covalent bond in such a way that each fragment gets one of the shared electron and heterolysis refers to the breaking of a covalent bond in such a way that one atom gets both of the shared electrons; ( lysis refers to the breaking; it does not refer to the formation)
Thus statement A; which states that bond formation from two radicals is known as homogenesis; is true.
