Basic principles in organic chemistry: Bond fission As the electrons are not divided equally after bond cleavage this is called Heterolytic Fission. In a case the C atom carries a positive charge it is called a carbocation and in the case it carries both the electrons of the broken bond and is negatively charged, it is quite intuitively called a Carbanion.hese are intermediates also formed as a result of heterolysis, but here the electron pair from the bond is kept by the carbon atom. From what we saw earlier the more electronegative atom keeps the electrons, so in this case carbon must the more electronegative of the two atoms making up the bond.
