Question

define carbocation,carboanion and free radical

Answer 1



Free radical. It is an atom within paired (odd electrons in valence shell) electrons. Free radicals are not stable which makes them highly reactive species. Free radicals are formed when one of the weak bonds is broken and odd number of electrons remains in the valence shell of the bonded atoms

Answer 2

Carbocation-It is a molecule having a carbon atom nearby three bonds and a positive formal charge.
Free radical-It is an atom,molecule za or an ion that has an unpaired valence electron.
