In this process the free radicals strip the electrons from other molecules. This chain reaction is omnipresent in every cell of the human body. Beyond affecting cellular regulation, it can also damage ...

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 ...

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 ...
