Question

Nascent hydrogen is most powerful reducing agent than ordinary hydrogen because:

• A. nascent hydrogen is in atomic state and atoms are more active than molecules
• B. nascent hydrogen is evolved in small bubbles containing the gas under great pressure
• C. nascent hydrogen is activated by the energy liberated in the reaction in which it is formed, so the nascent hydrogen becomes more energized and active
• D. all of them

Answer 1

The correct option is D all of them

Nascent hydrogen is most powerful reducing agent than ordinary hydrogen because nascent hydrogen is in atomic state and atoms are more active than molecules, nascent hydrogen is evolved in small bubbles containing the gas under great pressure, nascent hydrogen is activated by the energy liberated in the reaction in which it is formed, so the nascent hydrogen becomes more energized and active.
