Abstract
The theory of the free radicals of Pauling and Wheland is applied to the electron affinities of the radicals. The results are compared with the measurements of Bent, and they indicate that the charging electron enters in resonance with the whole system of [p]h-electrons. The theory is generalized to unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals and it is shown that the formation of ionizable metal derivatives is due to the resonance between the charging electron and the [p]h-electrons. Some cases of anomalous reactions of organo-alkali compounds are also interpreted.
