Solution:
Difference between ion and radical:
Ion:
- An ion is an atom of an element or a group of atoms of different elements that behave as a single unit
- Ion has positive and negative charge on it
- Electrons in ions are paired
- Compared to radicals ions are stable
- A molecule of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) has two parts, sodium (Na+), and carbonate (CO32-). Here, sodium is a positive ion and carbonate is a negative ion.
- Ions are formed due to heterolytic fission
Whereas,
Radicals:
- Radical is the atom of an element or a group of atoms of different elements that have at least one unpaired electron.
- In radical neutral, positive, and negative in charges are there.
- In radical one unpaired of electron is present.
- Compared to ions, radicals are unstable.
- For radical, Elemental nitrogen and hydroxyl are the best examples of simple free radicals.
- Radicals are formed due to homolytic fission.
