Radical (chemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, radicals (often referred to as free radicals ) are atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration. These unpaired electrons are usually hi...

Radical substitution and addition reactions tend to proceed as chain reaction processes, often with many thousands of identical propagation steps. The propensity for chain reactivity gives radical chemistry a distinct feel compared with polar Lewis acid/base chemistry where chain reactions are less common.

free radical, in chemistry, a molecule or atom that contains an unpaired electron but is neither positively nor negatively charged. Free radicals are usually highly reactive and unstable. They are produced by homolytic cleavage of a covalent bond (see chemical bond);
