- Free radicals are reaction intermediates formed due to the homolytic cleavage of a covalent bond containing carbon such that carbon gets an unpaired electron. In this process each atom takes away one of the two electrons forming a single covalent bond. It will produce two new species having an unpaired electron.

Free radicals are formed during hemolytic fission of a covalent bond.
Explanation:
Homolytic cleavage: A cleavage in which the electrons are equally share between the two atoms and leads to generation of free radicals.
Heterolytic cleavage: A cleavage in which the electrons are unequally share between the two atoms and leads to generation of ions. The more electronegative atom withdraws both electrons and result into formation of anion and the less electronegative element forms a cation
