Question

What are radicals? Explain with one example​

Answer 1

Answer:

A notable example of a radical is the hydroxyl radical (HO•), a molecule that has one unpaired electron on the oxygen atom. Two other examples are triplet oxygen and triplet carbene (:CH. ) which have two unpaired electrons. Radicals may be generated in a number of ways, but typical methods involve redox reactions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A radical is a chemical species that contains an unpaired electron. In the past such species were often called "free radicals". Radicals are usually formed when a single covalent bond breaks to leave an unpaired electron on each of the two species created by the bond breaking: this is called homolysis.

A notable example of a radical is the hydroxyl radical (HO•), a molecule that has one unpaired electron on the oxygen atom.
