Best Answer

In a heterolytic fission, both the electrons shared in the bond go to one atom (almost always the more electronegative atom). In homolytic fission, the electrons go to the two separate atoms.

homolytic cleavage results in each atom previously sharing the bond to keep one electron each. In heterolytic cleavage one atom takes both electrons with it.
