Solution:

Difference between ion and radical:

Ion:

  1. An ion is an atom of an element or a group of atoms of different elements that behave as a single unit
  2. Ion has positive and negative charge on it
  3. Electrons in ions are paired
  4. Compared to radicals ions are stable
  5. 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.
  6. Ions are formed due to heterolytic fission

                           Whereas,

Radicals:

  1. Radical is the atom of an element or a group of atoms of different elements that have at least one unpaired electron.
  2. In radical neutral, positive, and negative in charges are there.
  3. In radical one unpaired of electron is present.
  4. Compared to ions, radicals are unstable.
  5. For radical, Elemental nitrogen and hydroxyl are the best examples of simple free radicals.
  6. Radicals are formed due to homolytic fission.
