Question

Radicals are always charged.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• A radical is an atom of an element or a group of atoms of different elements that behaves as a single unit with a positive or negative charge on it.
• Examples are sodium ion ${\mathrm{Na}}^{+}$, cuprous ion ${\mathrm{Cu}}^{2+}$ (positive radicals) and fluoride ion ${\mathrm{F}}^{-}$, oxide ion ${\mathrm{O}}^{2-}$(negative radicals).

Thus, the above statement is true.
