Q

E/Z Isomerism

A

27
Q

What is the first step of Electrophillic addition?

A

Heterolytic Fission- the breaking of a covalent bond where the shared pair of electrons are not split equally forming a cation (p) and an anion (n)

Curly Arrow

A

The movement of an electron pair, showing either the breaking or formation of a covalent bond

29
Q

What occurs in step 2 of Electrophillic Addition?

A

A highly reactive Carbocation is formed which then rapidly forms a covalent bond with the bromide ion
