Reaction Mechanism | Concept to understand reaction mechanism |

(A) Electronic displacement in the covalent bond

In covalent bonds there are the following factors;

1. Inductive effect
2. Resonance effect
3. Electromeric effect
4. Hyperconjugation effect

(B) Nature of Reagents

1. Electrophiles – Electrons loving species
2. Nucleophiles – Nucleus loving species

(C) Bond cleavage or Fission bond

1. Homolysis / symmetrical / Non – polar bond cleavage
2. Heterolysis / unsymmetrical bond cleavage

In the next post, we are going to discuss a detailed explanation of the following topics.
