Free radicals and their conjugated mixes are fit for assaulting different atoms since they have an additional electric charge, or free electron.

    via hydroxyl radical and imbalanced redox homeostasis Redox hemostasis has been shown to be an important factor in the overall aging and neurodegeneration processes in mammalian models; such as, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. As a result, redox homeostasis has been a key point of interest in current research. Redox homeostasis is the balance between electrophiles and nucleophiles in a system, more importantly in a biological system. These electrophiles and nucleophiles play an important role in…

It creates them in small amounts so it’s not very harmful to the body. Harmful things in the environment will also create them. The body is only able to handle a certain number of free…

However, the chloride anion has a higher affectation in these systems. In the case of 2-chlorophenol the degradation rates are slower because the presence of additional chloride radicals from the abstraction reactions as mentioned above. Lastly, chlorides and sulfates influence the biodegradation of phenolic compounds in a different…
