Solution
(1)Radicals: A radical is a kind of molecule that contains an unpaired electron in the atomic orbital and can exist independently. The breaking of a single covalent bond to leave an unpaired electron on both the species that are bonded by it results the formation of radicals.
(2) The difference between a chemical equation and a balanced chemical equation are as follows
Chemical equation
Balanced chemical equation
A chemical equation is a shorthand representation of a chemical reaction using the symbols and formulae of substances involved in the chemical reaction. In a balanced equation, the number of atoms of different elements on both sides of the equation is always equal . It may or may not follow 'Law of conservation of mass' It must follow 'Law of conservation of mass'
