Are "mines" a fitting metaphor for "free radicals"?

Asked by Zyx (4170points) February 25th, 2016

I’m not great with chemistry or biology but I was reading about free radicals and thought an easy way to think of them would be as mines. Can you think of a more fitting metaphor? Or a reason mines don’t work as a metaphor?
