Nascent state (chemistry)

For other uses, see Nascent state (disambiguation).

Nascent state or in statu nascendi (Lat. newly formed moiety: in the state of being born or just emerging), in chemistry, refers to the form of a chemical element (or sometimes compound) in the instance of their liberation or formation. Often encountered are atomic oxygen (Onasc), nascent hydrogen (Hnasc), and similar forms of chlorine (Clnasc) or bromine (Brnasc). The monatomic nascent forms tend to be more reactive than their most common forms.[1]
