Step 1: Identifying Bond Cleavage in Ionic Reactions
Ionic reactions involve the formation and movement of cations and anions. This process is initiated by heterolytic bond cleavage, where the shared electron pair is retained by one of the atoms.
Step 2: Evaluating Other Methods
- Homolytic cleavage produces free radicals, leading to non-ionic radical pathways.
