FWIW, and this is a rather minor and pedantic point, these are hydroxyl radicals, not hydroxide ions, so it's: H2O + γ -> OH• + H• Rather than: H2O + γ -> OH

FWIW, and this is a rather minor and pedantic point, these are hydroxyl radicals, not hydroxide ions, so it's:
H2O + γ -> OH• + H•
Rather than:
H2O + γ -> OH- + H+
Oh, and whichever way, H2O splits into OH and H, not OH and O, but i assume that was a typo!
- robocat 5y ago> OH• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyl_radical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxyl_radical “Notation: The unpaired electron of the hydroxyl radical is officially represented by a middle dot, •, beside the O.” Note that article uses a superscripted dot <sup>•</sup>OH, and the dot is usually prefixed in the article (presumably so as to put the dot next to the O that doesn’t have a full shell?). However the article sometimes suffixes the dot, to put it beside the R organic radical. Weird.
