radikaalireaktion
Radikaalireaktion refers to a chemical reaction that proceeds through the formation and reaction of free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or molecules with an unpaired valence electron, making them highly reactive. These reactions typically involve a chain mechanism consisting of three main steps: initiation, propagation, and termination.
Initiation is the step where free radicals are first generated. This can occur through homolytic cleavage of
Radikaalireaktion are fundamental in many chemical processes, including polymerization, combustion, and atmospheric chemistry. For instance, the
