Hydrogen Peroxide is an example of a free radical. A free radical works by causing the oxidation of another atom. Free radicals are highly reactive because they are missing an electron. They will take that electron from any plant, human, or animal atom in a cell. That atom is then missing an electron and becomes a free radical itself. When any compound has the suffix -oxide in it, that usually hints that it is a free radical and would be considered basic on the pH scale.

What is some examples of adding and subtracting radicals?
When adding and subtracting radicals, you can only combine radicals with the same index and radicand (the number inside the radical). Here are some examples:
What is meant by acidic radicals?
electronegative radicals are anions or acid radicals.
How do you evaluate a radical?
There are three steps on how to evaluate a radical. Some of the step-by-step instructions are multiply two radicals with the same index number by simply multiplying the numbers beneath the radicals, divide a radical by another radical with the same index number by simply dividing the numbers inside, and simplify large radicals using the product and quotient rules of radicals.
Can you give some examples of real life application of a quadratic equations?
Yes, they commonly appear in free-fall problems.
What to consider when arranging radicals?
When arranging radicals, it is important to consider the index of the radical, whether or not the radical is mixed or entire, and then the radicand.
