Which risk increases when asymmetric molecular bond breakage occurs during drug metabolism?

💡 Explanation

The formation of toxic metabolites increases because heterolytic cleavage, a type of asymmetric bond breakage, results in unequal electron distribution, promoting reactive electrophiles, rather than favoring stable products, therefore leading to toxicity under physiological conditions.
