Answer:

A radical is a chemical species that contains an unpaired electron.

Explanation:

In general, radicals are highly reactive and form new bonds again very quickly. A radical may be electrically neutral, positively charged (radical cation) or negatively charged (radical anion).

Example of radical:

The chlorine molecule Cl2 undergoes homolysis in ultraviolet light to form two Cl. radicals. These are electrically neutral and highly reactive.

2. Bromine water is used in organic chemistry as a test to detect alkenes. Bromine water is brown-orange. When added to alkenes, it decolorizes. The reason for this is that the brown-orange bromine dissolved in water undergoes homolysis and reacts with alkenes. This is an example of an addition reaction.
