Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding Free Radicals:** - A free radical is a species that has at least one unpaired electron. This unpaired electron is what makes free radicals paramagnetic, meaning they are attracted to magnetic fields. 2. **Assertion Analysis:** - The assertion states that "A free radical is a paramagnetic species." This is true because free radicals contain an odd number of electrons, leading to unpaired electrons. ...
