Question

basic radicals examples
​

Answer 1

Answer:

State the difference between: acid radical and basic radical

Acid radicals Basic radicals

Acid radicals are formed by removal of hydrogen ion (H+). Basic radicals are formed by the removal of hydroxide ion (OH–).

Example: H2S04 loses one H+ ion to form HSO4– ion. Example: KOH loses OH– ion and becomes K+ ion

Answer 2

Answer:

A notable example of a radical is the hydroxyl radical (HO•), a molecule that has one unpaired electron on the oxygen atom. Two other examples are triplet oxygen and triplet carbene (:CH. ) which have two unpaired electrons. Radicals may be generated in a number of ways, but typical methods involve redox reactions.
