I suddenly thought of a strange question

Today I suddenly thought of a strange question, which might sound silly when expressed: during thermal cracking, molecules break apart to form free radicals, and these free radicals then proceed to react with each other. But if one of these free radicals moves to a very distant location, and after the reaction is complete, the two separate free radicals A and B end up far apart from each other (with all the other free radicals having combined to form molecules), what happens then? How can these two separate free radicals A and B combine together if they are so far apart? After all, in reality, free radicals do not exist on their own; so how do these two free radicals A and B manage to combine after being separated by such a large distance? Haha, I feel so bored. But can someone please explain it to me? I keep thinking about this damn problem.

A and B, who were close friends since childhood, were unable to be together for various reasons, but in the vast world, each of them found their own partner.

In fact, this is experimental science: practice-theory-practice again-theory again……

Hahaha, that’s a vivid image. If we think of it in terms of countless elements forming after the Big Bang, it makes sense. But what if this phenomenon occurs in our petrochemical catalysis or coking units, within the oil that enters in 1 second? And if A and B are on opposite sides, what should we do? Hahaha

Well, maybe it’s difficult, or maybe it’s ridiculously simple; your signature at the bottom is nice

Regarding the situation you mentioned, we can use humans on Earth as an analogy: if they don’t get married, they remain single.

I already hung myself from a tree; you’re still out in the forest choosing which tree is suitable for hanging.

The reason why there is a buzzing sound as soon as clothes are removed in bed is due to the existence of free electrons; free electrons also exist in nature.

Well, yes, that’s right. So are there any substances in our oil that exist in the form of free radicals? I don’t think so; it seems that special substances were created and experiments were designed specifically to prove the existence of free radicals

If the oil doesn’t come out, it’s still inside the reactor; eventually, a matching pair can always be found.
