Answer:

A radical is a chemical entity with an unpaired electron in it. A radical can be electrically neutral, radical cation charged positively, or radical anion charged negatively. The Radicals Examples. ... In ultraviolet light the chlorine molecule Cl2 undergoes homolysis to form two radicals of Cl.

OR

Radicals : A radical is an atom of an element or a group of atoms of different elements that behaves as a single unit with a positive or negative charge on it. Valency : It is the number of electrons donated or accepted by the valence shell of an atom during chemical combination.

Example

: Some common examples of basic radicals are Na+, Ba2+, Fe3+ etc. Composite Radicals-Acetylimino, Cyclohexane carbonyl etc. Bivalent Acidic Radicals-The ion formed after removal of Hydrogen ion from an acid is called as Acidic Radical.

HOPE ITS CLEAR. ☺️
