Classified as: Radical Cleavage
Radical cleavage (also called radical fragmentation or homolytic fission) occurs when a chemical bond undergoes homolytic fission to yield a pair of radicals.
For more information look in the Chemogenesis webbook sections on fragmentation reactions and dealing with radical chemistry.
