A radical (more precisely, a free radical) is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired valence electron (half filled orbital) creating a highly reactive intermediate. A carbanion is an anion in which carbon has an unshared pair of electrons and bears a negative charge creating a highly reactive intermediate.
