 {{DefName|
-Fragmentation of an [[odd electron ion]] that results from the pair of electrons that form a bond to the atom at the apparent charge site moving to that atom while the charge site moves to the adjacent atom. Fragmentation results in the formation of an [[even electron ion]] and a radical. The movement of the pair of electrons is symbolized by a double-barbed arrow. This term is synonymous with [[heterolysis]].
