14.​​ Heterolytic fission produces​​ 

A free radicals only​​ 

B ions only​​ 

C free radicals and positive ions only​​ 

D free radicals and negative ions only

ANSWER

B ions only​​ 

Analysis of Option/Explanation

Homolytic fission is one in which bonds break and electron return to each of its atom resulting in formation of free radical only. Whereas, in heterolytic fission, bonds break and one electron goes to one atom forming ions only.​​
