Open in App
Solution

  • A free radical is an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron.
  • A group of atoms of elements is called radical.
  • A notable example of a free radical is the hydroxyl radical , a molecule that is one hydrogen atom short of a water molecule and thus has one bond "dangling" from the oxygen.
