What Is A Radical

A radical is a group of atoms that acts as part of a molecule. Some common radicals include hypochlorite (ClO), chlorite (ClO2), chlorate (ClO3), and perchlorate (ClO4) which contain chlorine. Other examples provided are hypobromite (BrO), bromite (BrO2), bromate (BrO3), and perbromate (BrO4) containing bromine. The document lists many monovalent and divalent radicals along with their chemical symbols and ion forms. Trivalent radicals include chromate (CrO4), dichromate (Cr2O7), oxalate (C2O4), phosphite
