The review assembles critical scientific studies on the implications of singlet oxygen in initiating chemical reactions, identifying, and quantitating the consequential effects on combustion, fire safety, as well as on the low-temperature treatment of organic wastes and contaminants.

This is usually determined by how easily electrons can be removed (ionization energy) and how badly they want to take other atom's electrons (electronegativity) because it is the transfer/interaction of electrons that is the basis of chemical reactions.

This paper reviews the intrinsic properties of singlet oxygen, emphasising the physical aspects of its natural occurrences, production techniques, as well as chemical reactivity with organic fuels and contaminants. Chemical reactivity of the elements Reactivity refers to how likely or vigorously an atom is to react with other substances. Figure 9.1 provides the basic organic functional groups for these compounds and the IUPAC suffix that is. This includes alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. In this chapter you will be introduced to the major organic functional groups that contain oxygen. Such reactivity of singlet oxygen has inspired a wide array of emerging applications in chemical, biochemical and combustion phenomena. 9.1 Introduction to Compounds that Contain Oxygen. Singlet oxygen has a relatively high energy of about 94 kJ/mol compared to the ground state molecular O 2 and therefore initiates low-temperature oxidation of electron-rich hydrocarbons. In general, highly reactive oxygen-bearing molecules remain the backbone of diverse ground-breaking technologies, driving the waves of scientific development in environmental, biotechnology, materials, medical and defence sciences. Singlet oxygen represents a form of reactive oxygen species (ROS), produced by electronic excitation of molecular triplet oxygen.
