Question

Example of acidic and basic radical

Answer 1

Answer:

Negatively charged radicals are called acidic radicals. They are formed by removal of hydrogen ion (H⁺).  

Example: H₂S0₄ loses one H⁺ ion to form HSO₄⁻ ion.

Positively charged radicals are called a basic radical. They are formed by the removal of hydroxide ion (OH⁻).

Example: KOH loses OH⁻ ion and becomes K⁺ ion.
