hwhy is nascent hydrogen more reactive than ordinary hydrogen?since nascent hydrogen has an unshared electron. it tries to attain stability , hence it is more reactive.RITE!!!!!!!!!but i read in my text buk that this theaory failed to explain why nascent hydrogen produced in different methods, differs in reactivityI DIDN'T GET THIS .

Dear han i,

The text book never said that nascent hdrogen is less reactive than Ordinary Hydrogen !

It only said that the Nascent hydrogen produced by diffeerent methods differ in the reactivity among themselves !!

Hope you understood now..

All the Best & Good Luck !!
