Question

Which are the basic radicals and which are the acidic radicals among the following?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Acid radicals Basic radicals

Negatively charged radicals are called acidic radicals. Positively charged radicals are called a basic radical.

Acid radicals are formed by removal of hydrogen ion (H+). Basic radicals are formed by the removal of hydroxide ion (OH–).

Example: H2S04 loses one H+ ion to form HSO4– ion. Example: KOH loses OH– ion and becomes K+ ion
