Answer:

  • Ionization, in chemistry and physics, any process by which electrically neutral atoms or molecules are converted to electrically charged atoms or molecules (ions).
  • radical, also called Free Radical, in chemistry, molecule that contains at least one unpaired electron.
  • For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number.
