This reaction lowers the amount of hydroxyl radicals near a person’s skin. Once it steals that hydrogen atom from ethanol, the radical becomes a stable molecule of water.

All the latest science news on hydroxyl radical from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Roughly 90% of methane in the troposphere is oxidised into carbon dioxide via radical reactions initiated by hydroxyl radicals. Chlorine radicals in the atmosphere also trigger methane oxidation.

Microbes, not fossil fuels, biggest source of rising atmospheric methane levels Johns Hopkins expert Scot Miller discusses a new analysis challenging assumptions about the drivers of spiraling global ...

They’re chock-full of tricky stereocenters and hydroxyl groups that are prone to side reactions, which often require chemists to use tedious protection and deprotection steps to get to the ...

Methane, CH 4, is readily broken down in the atmosphere, where sunshine and highly reactive hydroxyl radicals are abundant. But it’s a different story when chemists try to work with the molecule.

The paper presents results of temporal dynamics of hydroxyl radicals in premixed hydrocarbon-air flows excited by a nanosecond pulsed streamer discharge plasma below a self-ignition threshold. The ...
