Question

what is a radical..​

Answer 1

Radical politics denotes the intent to transform or replace the fundamental principles of a society or political system, often through social change, structural change, revolution or radical reform. The process of adopting radical views is termed radicalisation.

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.
