Question

What are the radicals and why it is called so

Answer 1

!n chemistry a radicle is an atom,molecule,ion that has unpaired valence electronsWith some exceptions, these unpaired electrons make free radicals highly chemically reactive towards other substances, or even towards themselves: their molecules will often spontaneously dimerize or polymerize if they come in contact with each other. Most radicals are reasonably stable only at very low concentrations in inert media
