What is the Difference between nascent and molecular hydrogen?

Answer 1

Scientifically, nascent refers to a substance at the point at which it forms. In a chemical reaction, such as zinc reacting with sulphuric acid, individual hydrogen atoms will form but VERY quickly react with another atom to give H2 molecules. This is the only common situation in which atomic hydrogen exists, even if very fleetingly.

Answer 2

1.nascent hydrogen is produced only in the reaction mixture and it at once reacts with the reducing agent.Thus nascent hydrogen can be prepared, in solution, at ordinary temperature.But atomic hydrogen is produced at high temperature at about 3000 C by dissociating hydrogen molecule.Atomic hydrogen can't be prepared in solution at ordinary temperature.2.Atomic hydrogen is much stronger reducing agent than nascent hydrogen.3.Nascent hydrogen can never be isolated but atomic hydrogen can beNascent hydrogen life period has been found to be 0.3 second.4.Atomic hydrogen can reduce certain metallic salt. eg. Agcl, Cuo,CdS to metals while nascent hydrogen cannot.AgCl +H= Ag+HCl

Cuo +2H= cu+H2O( Cupper +water)

Answer 3

atomic hydrogen

Answer 4

nascent hydrogen

Answer 5

Nascent hydrogen is atomic hydrogen (H).
