  • REACTION MECHANISM
    • HETERO
      • breaking of covalent bond
        • both electrons to one atom
          • cation and anion
    • HOMOLYTIC
      • breaking of covalent bond
        • one electron to each aton
          • two radicals
    • CURLY ARROW
      • movement of an electron pair
      • shows either breaking or formation of covalent bond
    • ELECTRO-PHILLIC ADDITION
      • bond becomes polar
        • double bond broken
          • carbocation forms
            • alkene becomes halogeno-alkane
    • RADICAL SUBSTI-TUTION
      • initiation - radicals formed
        • propagation
          • termination - radicals used up
    • NEUTRO-PHILIC SUBSTI-TUTION
      • neutrophil attacks carbon
        • electron pair donated
