Detailed Solution

A covalent bond may be cleaved either by (i) heterolytic cleavage, or by (ii) homolytic cleavage.
In heterolytic cleavage, the bond breaks in such a fashion that the shared pair of electrons remains with one of the fragments.

In homolytic cleavage, one of the electrons of the shared pair in a covalent bond goes with each of the bonded atoms.
