Question

Differentiate between an ion and a free radical?​

Answer 1

Answer:

ION - Chemical species having either a positive or a negative electrical charge

FREE RADICALS- Chemical species having one or more unpaired electrons

Answer 2

Answer:

An ion carries a charge that means that the number of electrons and protons do not match..........A radical has an unpaired electron, but does not have a net charge because the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
