This makes it kinetically nonreactive despite being thermodynamically one of the strongest oxidants. Photochemical or thermal activation can bring it into the singlet state, which makes it kinetically as well as thermodynamically a very strong oxidant.

Two spin-1/2 particles

In a system with two spin-1/2 particlesfor example the proton and electron in the ground state of hydrogenmeasured on a given axis, each particle can be either spin up or
