Also known as free radical, free radicals
atom, molecule, or ion that has an unpaired valence electron; typically highly reactive
AI overview
A radical is an atom, molecule, or ion with an unpaired electron in its outer shell, which makes it unusually reactive and eager to bond with other substances. This matters because radicals drive many important chemical reactions in nature and industry, from the rusting of metals to processes in our cells, and understanding them helps scientists predict and control how substances behave.
