Hi Friend
Nascent hydrogen is more reactive than the DiHydrogen because the when the dihydrogen is broken in to its atomic state large amount of energy is released it due to the fact the enthalpy of formation of hydrogen is very large.
The nascent hydrogen is very unstable which make it reactive.

Answer:
Nascent hydrogen has a free electron which it can share with an element or compound which can accept electrons. Molecular hydrogen is essentially hydrogen which has been reduced by, or has reduced, another hydrogen atom. It will only reduce elements or compounds with a greater oxidizing potential than nascent hydrogen.
