RADICAL: molecules or compound which loses/gain one /two/three so on electrons. they are either positevely or negetavily charged.They are formed by a homolytic or heterolytic fission
Like
if there is reaction between A and B then in the product A has one electron and B has one electon(Homolytic-since sharing two electron distributes equally between them)
if A retains both the electrons(Heterolytioc as electrons taken away by onwe atom)
Go through some example in your books
ATOM: its the smallest part of an element having the same chemical properties.atoms are present everywhere in the universe,let it be gases,liquids,solids.an atom consists of neutrons[no charge],protons[+ charge] and electrons[- charge].
Atoms are not positive or negatively charged they are part of molecules. there is no process for their formation.

Explanation:
Basically, when atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions. ... An ion cannot remain in a free state, and has to combine with another element or elements to form a compound.
