Question

Differenciate between:-

A basic radical & A acid radical​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Negatively charged radicals are called acidic radicals. Positively charged radicals are called a basic radical. Acid radicals are formed by removal of hydrogen ion (H+). Basic radicals are formed by the removal of hydroxide ion (OH–).

Answer 2

Acid radical is the ion formed after the removal of Hydrogen ion (H+) from an acid. Example: When H2SO4 loses H+ ion, it forms HSO4− which is an acid radical. The ion formed after the removal of hydroxide ion (OH−) from a base is known as basic radical.
