| free radical |
a radical in its uncombined state; an atom or atom group carrying an unpaired electron and no charge (usually an oxygen molecule). Free radicals are very reactive and unstable and do not stay in this transient state for very long. Free radicals react with cell components, stealing their electrons and thus creating more free radicals and causing damage.
