Phosphorescence lifetime
The triplet state oxygen is a form of oxygen with two unpaired electrons, making it a reactive species. It has a longer lifetime compared to the singlet state oxygen and is involved in various chemical reactions, including the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species.

Why triplet excited state is found to be more stable than singlet excited state?
The triplet state is more stable than the singlet state due to its lower energy configuration. In the triplet state, two electrons have parallel spins, which minimizes electron-electron repulsion and allows for greater spatial separation. This arrangement leads to a more favorable exchange interaction, resulting in increased stability. Additionally, the triplet state is often less susceptible to external perturbations, further contributing to its stability.
Singlet and triplet refers to the spin states of electrons in a molecule. Singlet state has two electrons with opposite spins, while triplet state has two electrons with parallel spins. The difference between them affects the physical and chemical properties of the molecule.
it actually does not. intersystem crossing is what creates the triple state not what reduces it to its ground state. it happens in a series of steps... first you have the excited singlet state created by photon absorption which would generally immediately emit flouresence to return to the ground state. however, if it does not emit flouresence than it becomes subject to intersystem crossing (ISC). ISC can cause an electron to invert its rotation and begin the same orbital rotation path of another electron, therefore creating the triplet state (two electrons having same directional orbit). the triplet state then undergoes internal conversion, again altering those two electrons in question. Now, when the triplet is reduced to the ground state it emits phosphorescence instead of flourescence.

Single state refers to a quantum state with a single electron occupying it, while triplet state refers to a quantum state with two electrons with opposite spins occupying it. Triplet states have a total spin angular momentum of 1, while single states have a total spin angular momentum of 1/2.

Consider the two electrons in a chemical bond. They have spin vectors S1 and S2. Each of the components of the spin vector is quantized and can take on values ±h/2π. The allowed total spin states are generated by adding the spins S = S1+ S2. If the two vectors are completely anti-parallel, then the total spin i.e. S = S1 - S2 = 0. In this case, the only allowed value of the magnetic quantum number ms is 0. However, if the components of S1 and S2 are the same, the total spin will be 1, which leaves three possible values for ms, namely -1,0,1. For this reason, spin states in which the electrons have a total spin of magnitude 1 are called the triplet states, while the one spin state corresponding to a total spin of 0 is called the singlet state.A triplet may result whenever a molecule possesses two electrons which are both orbitally unpaired and spin unpaired. Orbital unpairing of electrons results when a molecule absorbs a photon of visible or ultraviolet light. Direct formation of a triplet is a very improbable process since both the orbit and spin of the electron would have to change simultaneously.The energy needed to promote the 1s to the 2s orbital is larger than the energy needed to promote the symmetric to the antisymmetric spatial wave function composed of 1s orbitals alone. This is why; in general, excited states involving triplet spin states are lower in energy than excited states involving singlet states.Due to the spin correlation effect the electrons have an electronic and magnetic part. If the spins are in the same direction, triplet state, they are a magnetic repulsion and the electrons are farther. This gives a less electronic repulsion, thus a lower energy state. It is of lower energy than the singlet state, because electrons with their spins in the same direction are good at keeping out of each others way.To put it in another way, suppose an electron of a pair is excited. It can follow 2 different paths one leading to singlet state and another to triplet state. In the first path all the energy is used for rising the energy of the electron while in the second path, part of the energy is used to unpair the spin which requires energy. So the triplet state is at a lesser energy level.
