Question

what is the difference between bivalent and trivalent radicals.
Give example of each? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Trivalent radicals are defined as the radicals which carry a charge of 3. The charge can be negative or positive. This also means that the radical can form maximum of 3 bonds. ... It carries a charge of -1 and is a monovalent ion.

While as bivalent radicals derived from univalent acyclic hydrocarbon radicals whose names end in '-yl' by removal of 1 or 2 hydrogen atoms from the carbon atom with the free valences are named by adding '-idene' to the name of the corresponding univalent radical. For example, Ethylidene, Vinylidene, Isopropylidene.
