Flashcards

What is nascent hydrogen?

Nascent hydrogen is a highly reactive form of hydrogen atoms that are freshly generated, making it a stronger reducing agent than molecular hydrogen (H2).

Why is nascent hydrogen a more powerful reducing agent?

Nascent hydrogen is more reactive because it exists as single, highly energized atoms, ready to donate electrons and reduce other substances. Molecular hydrogen, on the other hand, is more stable and requires more energy to break its bond, making it less reactive.

What are oxides?

Oxides are chemical compounds formed when oxygen combines with another element.

What are amphoteric oxides?

Amphoteric oxides can act as both acids and bases, depending on the reaction conditions.

What are isotopes?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to different atomic masses.
