Making matters worse is that when free radicals steal electrons from multiple atoms, they create more unstable atoms, setting off a harmful chain reaction. And when free radicals attack important ...

Here we look at how the combustion of hydrogen gas can lead to a chain reaction. On the face of it, the chemical reactions that take place in the combustion of hydrogen are relatively simple ...

We’ve all heard about free radicals damaging our bodies and antioxidants coming to the rescue, but do we really know what ...

The radical bromine atoms can then go on to react with other species in solution (including each other) in a chain reaction. This reaction proceeds at room temperature and does not require sunlight or ...
