Answer:
Nascent oxygen is monoatomic radical, which is far more reactive and unstablethan diatomic oxygen 02
It is designated as [0] . [O] is extremely unstable and tend to react with just about anything they come in contact with.
Nascent oxygen is formed by peroxide in
presence of sunlight or light energy.
1. H₂O2 → [0] + H₂O
Explanation:
2.It is the atomic form of oxygen [O] it does not exist independently as a molecule. In chemical reactions, nascent oxygen is produced from strong oxidizing agents like KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7. When potassium permanganate reacts with ethanol, it releases nascent oxygen. ie, an atom of oxygen thus converting the ethanol to acetic acid.
K2Cr2O7+ 4H2SO4(dil.) ⟶ K2SO4+ green Cr(SO4)3 + 4H2O + 3[O]
