Solution
The correct option is DCu+ Since metals are always electropositive, the heterolytic cleavage takes place in the following way :
Theory :
Bond Cleavage : Breaking of Covalent bond is known as Bond cleavage.
Organic reaction is the process in which breaking and formation of covalent bonds takes place.
Generalized organic reaction : Substrate+Reagent⟶Products
Which can be further explained as : Organic molecule(substrate)reagent⟶intermediate⟶Product(s)
Where intermediates and by products formed.
Substrate :
The reactant which is being attacked in a chemical reaction.
Reagent :
The reactant which attacks the substrate in a chemical reaction.
