in order to maintain the necessary internal environmental conditions to survive. These toxic molecules are known as free radicals that contain an unpaired electron on the outer orbit (Proljsak et al.2013). Some examples of free radicals that can be found in the cell are superoxide (O2-)‚ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and even reactive metals like copper and iron. These free radicals are produced based on the environment the individuals are exposed to. For instance the energy generated when cells discompose

The objective of this experiment is to conduct a free radical reaction and measure the ratio of products through a GC analysis. Free radical reactions are important to understand because they allow chemists to design synthesis of complex molecules from very simple organic molecules. The reagents used were 2‚3-dimethylbutane as the carbon chain‚ t-butyl peroxybenzoate as the initiator‚ and sulfuryl chloride as the source of chloride radicals. The predicted products are 1-chloro-2‚3-dimethylbutane

Deriving their position from Marx‚ radicals believe that four conditions relate to occurrence of crime: a) capitalism is based on inequalities between those who own and those who
