Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves the heterolysis of a bond between a carbon and a leaving group, resulting in the formation of a carbocation intermediate. Heterolysis is the breaking of a bond where both electrons go to one of the atoms forming an ion pair. The formation of a carbocation intermediate suggests that a positive charge is present on the carbon atom.
