What are free radicals and whats the big deal about eliminating them?

  • What did the free radicals ever do to you?

  • Answer:

    free radicals are basically rogue particles that bounce around inside your cells, damaging your cells as they go. This causes your cells to deteriorate over time, which in effect is the aging process. Theoretically, eliminating some of them slows the damage rate, and the aging process as well.

"Free radicals, in terms of government, usually refers to anarchists. With no rules and no structure, people will be free to do as they please, and that is bad, because, in anarchy, militias take over, and we lose our freedoms."

Cl-Cl-------> Cl* + Cl* catlyat(hv or heat homolytic clevage) when the clorine atom is formed the they form the bond by the mutual sharing btween the two clorine atom to form the chlorine molecle Cl2 when both atom are same electronegative then the electron clould or the elctron as charge equally dristributed over the each other and when they react with other compound then the take one one elctron that praticipate in the bond formation and due to this neutaral chemical spices form (Cl* ) and these are called the free radical this is show when the molecule is formed by the same atom of sharing
