Question

Acidic and basic radical of calcium carbonate

Answer 1

Answer:

acid radical: carbonate (CO3-2)

Basic radical:Ca+2

Answer 2

The acidic radical is $CO_{3} ^{-2}$ and the basic radical is $Ca^{2+}$

What are radicals?

• Molecules that contains one unpaired electrons are called radicals.

• Most radicals might be considered to have emerged by cleavage of ordinary electron-pair bond, each cleavage having created two separate substances, each containing a solitary, unpaired electron from the broken bond.

Acidic radical

It is the compound that is negatively charged in the molecule.

Basic Radical

It is the compound that is positively charged in the molecule.

Given the compound Calcium carbonate: $CaCO_{3}$

The acidic radical is :$CO_{3} ^{-2}$

The basic radical is: $Ca^{2+}$
