Chapter 6, Problem 90E
Free radicals are important in many environmentally significant reactions. For example, photochemical smog—smog that results
from the action of sunlight on air pollutants—forms in part by these two steps:
The product of this reaction, ozone, is a pollutant in the lower atmosphere. (Upper atmospheric ozone is a natural part of the atmosphere that protects life on Earth from ultraviolet light.) Ozone is an eye and lung irritant and also accelerates the weathering of rubber products. Rewrite the above reactions using the Lewis structure of each reactant and product. Identify the free radicals.

- Chemical reactions occur when molecules or atoms collide in a way that the bonds between atoms break and new bonds form. Breaking the bonds of the reactants requires energy, whereas bond formation releases energy. Select the true statements regarding energy changes during a reaction. When the activation energy is high, the reaction rate is fast. If the heat of reaction, AH, is positive, the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants and the reaction is exothermic. Decreasing the temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the reactants, and the reaction goes more slowly. The energy of a collision between atoms or molecules must be greater than or equal to the activation energy, Ea, for bonds to be broken. Increasing the concentration of reactants increases the number of collisions, and the reaction goes faster. Reactants must collide with proper orientation and with energy greater than or equal to the activation energy for a reaction to occur.

The activation energy (Ea) is the energy difference between the energy of the products and the energy of the reactants. If the energy of the products is higher than the energy of the reactants, the reaction is exothermic. Decreasing the temperature decreases the kinetic energy of the reactants, and the reaction goes more slowly.
