Oxygen hangs around as the diatomic molecule O2 . Inferred from the question is that nascent oxygen is O1 (a single atom of oxygen) and can be used with the idea being to do this: O2 + O1 = O3. Chemistry would have to be taking the day off for this to happen. And chemistry doesn't take a day off. Oxygen is not a solo act. It is not monatomic. It's like this: 3O2 + energy = 2O3. The reaction is endothermic; energy needs to be put in to make it happen. The energy comes from UV photons in photolysis or from good old high voltage in corona discharge reactions. Ozone is unstable and spontaneously reverts to diatomic oxygen like this: 2O3 = 3O2. Ozone cannot be prepared "manually" using "nascent" oxygen because oxygen writes the terms and conditions under which it will live. It will not live as O1 and therefor will not be available to combine with 1O2 to form 1O3. "Nascent" oxygen is more likely to join with another O1, and make O2. Not that O2 + O -> O3 doesn't happen, it does occasionally, with the help of other "third parties". See the link below for a technical paper on the functionally similar production of ozone in air using electrons to form "nascent oxygen".

Preparing ozone manually by combining oxygen and nascent oxygen is not feasible because the highly reactive nascent oxygen would quickly react with surrounding molecules, forming other compounds before it has a chance to react with oxygen to form ozone. This rapid reaction process hinders the production of ozone.

No, ozone is not nascent oxygen. Ozone is triatomic form of oxygen atom.


How do you convert nascent oxygen into molecular oxygen?

I do not have a clue


When nitrous oxide is converted to nitrogen and oxygen what is the term used to describe the oxygen atoms formed?

The oxygen atoms formed when nitrous oxide is converted to nitrogen and oxygen are called "nascent oxygen." Nascent oxygen is highly reactive and can readily combine with other substances.


How chlorine bleaches by oxidation?

Chlorine bleaches the organic compound by oxidation process.It reacts first in aqueous solution giving nascent oxygen then the nascent oxygen oxidize organic compound making it colourless.i.eH2O + cl2 gives 2Hcl + O (nascent oxygen)Organic compound + O (nascent oxygen) gives colourless organic compound


How is nascent oxygen produced?

Nascent oxygen is produced when a substance or compound is broken down, allowing the oxygen atoms to exist in a highly reactive and unstable state. This can occur through processes like electrolysis, decomposition of certain compounds, or reactions with ozone or certain catalysts.


What is added to oxygen to create ozone?

In order to create ozone oxygen is addded to nascent oxygen. Then ozone is formed.


What does the ozone layer breakdown along with oxygen?

The ozone layer is broken down by UV. It decomposes it into nascent oxygen and oxygen molecule.


What is nascent oxygen?

Nascent oxygen refers to highly reactive oxygen atoms that are formed by breaking down certain chemical compounds or through specific chemical reactions. These reactive oxygen atoms are important in various industrial processes, including water treatment and chemical synthesis.
