Question
Chapter 1, Problem 71EQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Lewis structures of radicals formed when tert-butyl hydroperoxide breaks homolytically need to be drawn
Concept Introduction:
Covalent bonds can suffer homolytic (symmetrical) bond breaking. During homolytic
cleavage, the electrons of a covalent bond become unpaired and one electron goes
with each fragment. Radicals, rather than ions, are formed. Radicals usually have a
formal charge of zero.
