Question

Give an example for an acid radical of valency 1 and also define acid radical.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The ion formed after removal of Hydrogen ion (H⁺ ion) from an acid is called acid radical.

Ex: When HCl loses H⁺ ion, it forms Cl⁻ which is an acid radical.

 

Following given the list of acidic radicals.

Answer 2

Chloride ion is an example of an acidic radical.

• An acidic radical is an ion formed by the removal of a proton(H+) from any acid.
• The valency of an acidic radical is defined as the number of protons(H+) ions removed from a single molecule of any particular acid.
• Considerin HCl, which is an acid,an acidic radical of valency one can be obtained from HCl by removing one protn from it.
• This removal of proton produces the chloride ion (Cl-).Hence, chloride ion is an acidic radical with valency one.
