A) Chemically reactive
B) Chemically inactive
C) Anions
D) Cations
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] Chemically reactive A free radical may be defined as atom or a group of atoms having unpaired electron. These are produced by hemolytic cleavage of a covalent bond. For example \[\begin{align} & Cl-Cl\text{ }\xrightarrow{hv\,or\,\Delta }\text{ }Cl+Cl \\ & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,chlorine\text{ }free\text{ }reactions \\ \end{align}\] There are highly reactive chemical species because of their strong tendency of carbon atom carrying odd electron to acquire one more electron to complete its octet.You need to login to perform this action.
