16
Q

How are free radicals formed

A

A sufficiently reactive substance is exposed to UV light and bonds between atoms break

17
Q

The three steps in free radical chain reactions are?

A

Initiation, propagation and termination

18
Q

Why are these reactions called chain reactions

A

Some steps that produce products also produce another reactive free radical that can continue the reaction

19
Q

Name 3 types of products that contain free radical scavengers

A

Plastics and cosmetics

20
Q

What do free radical scavengers do

A

They are molecules which can react with free radicals to form stable molecules and prevent chain reactions
