4 true

5 false

Answer 2

Answer:

An unpaired electron-containing chemical entity is known as a radical. Such species were frequently referred to as "free radicals" in the past.

Explanation:

1. An atom, molecule, or ion with at least one unpaired valence is referred to as a free radical. These unpaired electrons provide radicals, with a few exceptions, a high degree of chemical reactivity. Radicals frequently dimerize on their own. The first statement is false.

2. The radicals that consist of only one atom is known as simple radical. It includes Na⁺, Zn²⁺, B³⁺, Cl⁻, and N. The second statement is false.

3. Yes, atoms do exist separately in inert gases. For such, the atoms need to be neutral and have their outermost orbit's electronic configuration fully filled. They are sometimes referred to as noble gases or rare gases. Examples are helium and neon argon. The 3rd statement is true.

4. Atoms with a charge or a collection of charged atoms with a shared charge that function as a single unit during a chemical process. chemicals that are unstable and highly reactive do not exist in free form and produce several sorts of chemicals based on the charge: Basic or electropositive radicals include K⁺, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺, and Si⁴⁺. The fourth statement is true.

5. Compound Radical: consists of a collection of atoms from several elements, such as NO₃, CO₂, and NH⁴⁺. The fifth statement is false.

Hence,

1. False
2. False
3. True
4. True
5. False
