A free radical is a chemical particle that?

A chemical species with odd number of electrons Another answer: Free radicals are highly reactive molecular fragments. My sources for this answer: I got it right on my quiz. (:


HOW MANY CHLORINE ATOMS DESTROY 1000000.00 OZONE MOLECULES?

Theoretically, 1 chlorine free radical could do this. The number of ozone molecules broken down by the free radical before the chain is terminated depends on a lot of factors, though, and a million seems like a very high value.


How many chlorine atoms does it take to destroy 100000 ozone molecules in a stratosphere?

There's a good chance one could do it.The problem is that chlorine can, under certain conditions (like those found in the stratosphere), break off from a molecule and form what's called a "free radical" ... a lone chlorine atom with an unpaired electron. The free radical symbol is a dot representing the unpaired electron, but unfortunately everything I do here to try to depict it where it should be (about halfway up) generates a string of gibberish, so I'm just going to have to use a period instead, thus: Cl.Free radicals are highly reactive and will attach themselves to complete molecules, forming a larger (and unstable) free radical that then falls apart. In order to stabilize a free radical, it must run into another free radical, with which it can react to form a relatively inert stable molecule again.In the stratosphere, there are a lot more ozone molecules than chlorine free radicals, so the most common thing that tends to happen isCl. + O3 -> Cl. + O2Cl. is itself a free radical, and reacts with oxygen free radicals (present naturally in the stratosphere as a result of the breakup of oxygen molecules by UV light):ClO. + O. -> Cl. + O2This regenerates the chlorine free radical, which can then go on to catalyze the decomposition of another ozone molecule, starting the cycle again. One chlorine atom can therefore be responsible for the destruction of thousands of ozone molecules before it runs into a free radical killer such as another chlorine free radical:Cl. + Cl. -> Cl2

What is a radical biology?

"Radical biology" refers to the role of free radicals in living organisms.


Why peroxide effect is not observed with Cl?

Because carbon and iodine elements have same electronegativities and after formation of free radicals, mobility of carbon free radical is much higher than iodine free radical. So carbon free radical can easily attack to form more stable free radical with the substrate. Secondly, due to larger size iodine free radical can easily dimerize to give iodine molecule. Hence, we can not observe peroxide effect
