Question
Chapter 11.8, Problem 3QQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The characteristics that define a free radical has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Radiations emitted from a radionuclide are very harmful at higher levels. Radiations cannot be heard, tasted, seen, or even felt. Radiation can be detected by making use of the fact that the radiation ionizes molecules and atoms. Radiations are classified as ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiations. When an ionizing radiation hits an atom or molecule ion pairs are formed. Free radicals are also formed along with the ion pairs.
