Thermal cracking of butane can produce ethyl radicals via homolytic cleavage.  Does the reaction below correctly use arrows to show this process?  



◦ Yes, because the cleavage is uneven.
◦ No, because fishhook arrows should not be used for reactions that show homolytic cleavage.
◦ No, because fishhook arrows are not appropriate to show the movement of electrons in this type of radical reaction.
◦ Yes, because fishhook arrows show movement of individual electrons to produce two equal halves that each have an unpaired electron.
◦ Yes, because movement of pairs of electrons is shown using fishhook arrows.
