Explanation:

How Oxidants Work

An oxidant is a chemical species that removes one or more electrons from another reactant in a chemical reaction. In this context, any oxidizing agent in a redox reaction may be considered an oxidant. Here, the oxidant is the electron receptor, while the reducing agent is the electron donor. Some oxidants transfer electronegative atoms to a substrate. Usually, the electronegative atom is oxygen, but it can be another electronegative element or ion.

While an oxidant technically doesn't require oxygen to remove electrons, most common oxidizers do contain the element. The halogens are an example of oxidants that don't contain oxygen. Oxidants participate in combustion, organic redox reactions, and more explosives.

Examples of oxidants include:

hydrogen peroxide

ozone

nitric acid

sulfuric acid

oxygen

sodium perborate

nitrous oxide

potassium nitrate

sodium bismuthate

hypochlorite and household bleach

halogens such as Cl2 and F2

Oxidants As Dangerous Substances

An oxidizing agent that can cause or aid combustion is considered a dangerous material. Not every oxidant is hazardous in this manner. For example, potassium dichromate is an oxidant, yet is not considered a dangerous substance in terms of transport.

Oxidizing chemicals which are deemed hazardous are marked with a specific hazard symbol. The symbol features a ball and flames.

nasent oxygen isOxygen hangs around as the diatomic molecule O2 . Inferred from the question is that nascent oxygen is O1 (a single atom of oxygen) and can be used with the idea being to do this: O2 + O1 = O3. Chemistry would have to be taking the day off for this to happen. And chemistry doesn't take a day off. Oxygen is not a solo act. It is not monatomic. It's like this: 3O2 + energy = 2O3. The reaction is endothermic; energy needs to be put in to make it happen. The energy comes from UV photons in photolysis or from good old high voltage in corona discharge reactions. Ozone is unstable and spontaneously reverts to diatomic oxygen like this: 2O3 = 3O2. Ozone cannot be prepared "manually" using "nascent" oxygen because oxygen writes the terms and conditions under which it will live. It will not live as O1 and therefor will not be available to combine with 1O2 to form 1O3. "Nascent" oxygen is more likely to join with another O1, and make O2. Not that O2 + O -> O3 doesn't happen, it does occasionally, with the help of other "third parties". for a technical paper on the functionally similar production of ozone in air using electrons to form "nascent oxygen".
