What is heterolytic fission?

Historical fiction is defined as movies and novels in which a story is made up but is set in the past and sometimes borrows true characteristics of the time period in which it is set. A novel that makes up a story about a Civil War battle that really happened is an example of historical fiction.

Heterolytic fission is the process of cleaving a covalent bond where one previously bonded species takes both original bonding electrons from the other species.
