of C-H bonds, around 100 kcal/mol, a large amount of energy is required to cleave the hydrogen atom from the carbon and bond a different atom to the carbon.

Homolytic cleavage

In homolytic cleavage, or homolysis, the two electrons in a cleaved covalent bond are divided equally between the products. This process is also known as homolytic fission or radical fission. The bond-dissociation energy of a bond
