and negative radicals? Explain with examples how
formula of compound can be formed.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A radical is an atom of an element or a group of atoms of different elements that behave as a single unit with a positive or negative charge on it. Positively charged radicals are called basic radicals such as Na+, NH4+ etc. Negatively charged radicals are called acid radicals such as NO3-, Cl-, etc.

Most elements form compounds. For example: A reaction between sodium and chlorine gives the compound sodium chloride (salt) quite readily. ... They are different from other elements, since their atoms are described as stable or unreactive.
