Nascent oxygen

Aluminum, although highly electropositive, does not react with water under ordinary conditions because it is protected by a thin (2—3 nm) impervious oxide film that rapidly forms even at room temperature on nascent aluminum surfaces exposed to oxygen. If the protective film is overcome by amalgamation or scratching, water rapidly attacks to form hydrous aluminum oxide. Because of the tendency to amalgamate, aluminum and its alloys... 

The mechanism of activation is believed to be as follows. In an alkaline medium, hydrogen peroxide yields the perhydroxide anion (Scheme 10.22), which reacts with TAED (10.86) to form diacetylethylenediamine (10.87) and the peracetate anion (10.88) as in Scheme 10.30 [244]. At pH 8-9, the peracetate anion is in equilibrium with free peracetic acid, as in Scheme 10.31 [244]. The peracetic acid reacts with the peracetate anion to form nascent oxygen which is the active bleaching agent, as in Scheme 10.32 [244]. Further possible activators suggested by Kleber [244] include ... 

There are two broad classes of separators employed in nickel—zinc batteries a main separator, which exhibits resistance to dendrite penetration, and an interseparator, which principally acts as an electrolyte reservoir and wicking layer. Both main and interseparator should be resistant to chemical attack by the alkaline electrolyte and resistant to oxidative attack by nascent oxygen, permanently wettable by the electrolyte, flexible, heat sealable, tear resistant, and inexpensive. 

Allotrope An allotrope is formed when an element or compound exists in more than one form. Carbon is an example of an element found in different forms (e.g., carbon black, graphite, and diamonds). Oxygen has three alio tropes monoatomic or nascent oxygen (O) diatomic oxygen (O ), the gas we breathe and triatomic oxygen (O ), which is known as ozone. 

There are three allotropes (different forms) of oxygen (1) atomic oxygen (O), sometimes referred to as nascent or newborn oxygen (2) diatomic oxygen (O ), or molecular oxygen (gas) and (3) ozone (O ), also a gas. 

Model of Deterioration Mechanisum, As acetyl content decreases due to hydrolysis or oxidation of ester bonding, solute permeability increases. Then concentration of solute( in this case sodium hypochlorite) in the membrane increases and the hydrolysis or oxidation rate increases and so on. It will be more reasonable to assume that hydrolysis or oxidation rate of cellulose acetate in the active surface layer may be accelerated by the action of the nascent oxygen generated from sodium hypochlorite. 

By the electrolysis of the salts of the normal fatty acids. In this process nascent oxygen acts upon the fatty acid, converting its o.xatyl into carbonic anhydride, the positive radicai being sot free —... 

When these aoida are submitted to the action of nascent oxygen evolved by electrolysis, the negative radical oxatyl is converted into carbonic anhydride and water, tbe positive radical being set at liberty —...

Numerous processes have from time to time boon adopted to effect the decoloration of palm oil, nearly all of which depend upon the application of nascent oxygen produced through the decomposition of various compounds, from which it may be liberated with a greater or less degree of facility.
