When a free radical is formed, it has an unpaired electron, making it highly reactive. This instability prompts the free radical to seek out and bond with other molecules, often resulting in damage to cellular components like DNA, proteins, and lipids. The chain reaction can lead to oxidative stress, contributing to aging and various diseases. Antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals, reducing their harmful effects.

What are some examples of free radicals?
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.
CAn someone help me with my radical equations?
There are several good websites to find help with radical equations. You tube has several good videos on radical equations that are free of charge.
In a Mathematical way of expressing a part of a whole thing is called a free-radical true or false?
False.
What is the radical approximation of radical 11?
There is no reasonable radical approximation for radical 11.
When you multiply a radical number with another radical number do the radical signs cancel each other out?
Not necessarily. If it is the same radical number, then the signs cancel out. Radical 5 times radical 5 equals 5. But if they are different, then you multiply the numbers and leave them under the radical sign. Example: radical 5 * radical 6 = radical 30
Is h3o a free radical?
No, H3O+ is not a free radical. It is a hydronium ion formed when a water molecule gains a proton. It has a positive charge due to the addition of the extra proton.
When was Free Radical Research created?
Free Radical Research was created in 1985.
When was Free Radical Centre created?
Free Radical Centre was created in 2005.
What is free-radical halogenation of acetic acid?
free-radical halogenation of acetic acid
What are the 3 steps in the free radical substitution?
The three steps in free radical substitution are initiation, propagation, and termination. In initiation, a free radical is generated. In propagation, the free radical reacts with a molecule to form a new free radical. In termination, two free radicals react with each other to form a stable product, ending the chain reaction.
What is the hybridization of an alkyl free radical?
the hybrdization of allyl radical carbon is sp2 which overlaps with the p orbitals of the alkene
The major monobrominated product which results when methylcyclohexane is subjected to free radical bromination is?
1-bromo-3-methylcyclohexane is the major monobrominated product formed when methylcyclohexane undergoes free radical bromination. This occurs because the bromine radical prefers to attack the tertiary carbon due to its greater stability compared to primary or secondary carbons.
What is a radical biology?
"Radical biology" refers to the role of free radicals in living organisms.
Does BrO3- have a free radical?
BrO3- is the anion bromate, not a free radical.
What is the radical formed by reacting ammonia and water?
ammonium
