What danger does ultraviolet light pose to living organisms?
Can create free radicals, H+ molecules.
What is the role of THBT as a quencher?
The process of oxidation involves free radicals and THBT reacts with these molecules, forming stable products.
Free radical remove what from molecules?
electrons
When food is exposed to air it can lose electrons this loss of electrons creates reactive molecules that work to destroy the chemical bonds in the food causing it to spoil what are these molecules cal?
Free radicals
How do free radicals work in a fire situation?
Free radicals in the air, like smoke from a fire, co2 from buses, gases, anything that causes air irrigation, is a free radical. Free radicals also wear on your skin and can possibly make you look older and take a toll on your skin.
Why don't chlorine molecules decompose to give Cl free radicals please explain in terms of kc?
Chlorine molecules will break down when exposed to UV light and create CL free radicals. CL molecules will freely colide with other molecules and create free radicals. I cannot find a specific reason for why CL doesn't decompose.
What are antioxidants and why are they good for you?
Antioxidants are molecules that can be found in many foods that can either slow or prevent oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is essentially the process when cells in your body use oxygen, but a byproduct of oxidation is free radicals, which can damage cells. Antioxidants remove these free radicals, lowering your risk of diseases caused by oxidative damage, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and even more!
What are the reactive molecules called that cause food to spoil?
Free Radicals
What do organic chemists refer to molecules containing unpaired electrons as?
free radicals
What danger does ultraviolet light pose to living organisms?
Can create free radicals, H+ molecules.
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. (:
Do antioxidants react with other compounds?
Free radicals.
What are free radicals?
Free radicals are unstable molecules that contain unpaired electrons, making them highly reactive. They can cause damage to cells, tissues, and DNA through a process called oxidative stress. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in the body and reduce their harmful effects.
What occurs during a light reaction?
Light is a form of energy. Light energy can be used to initiate chemical reactions. For instance light can be used to break chemical bonds homolytically, that is to say break the chemical bonds in a molecule to form free radicals. Free radicals are more reactive than the molecules from which they have formed because they possess more energy. These free radicals can then interact to produce new molecules, new products.
What is the role of THBT as a quencher?
The process of oxidation involves free radicals and THBT reacts with these molecules, forming stable products.
Free radical remove what from molecules?
electrons
When was Free Radicals - film - created?
Free Radicals - film - was created in 1979.
