Heterolytic bond-dissociation energy

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005255",
  "term": "Heterolytic bond-dissociation energy",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The energy required to break a specific bond in a molecule such that both electrons from the bond remain with one of the resulting fragments, forming a cation and an anion. This value is typically measured in the gas phase and represents the enthalpy change for the heterolytic cleavage of a bond. It differs from homolytic bond-dissociation energy, which forms radicals.",
