Q11 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (20 Aug Shift 1) · Chemistry
Which among the following species doesn't show disproportionation reaction?
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
We know that the species which undergoes oxidation as well as reduction during the chemical reaction then that reaction is called disproportionation reaction.
In , the oxidation state of atom is which is the maxium oxidation state in which chlorine atom can exist, so it can just go to the lower oxidation state during the chemical reaction i.e. can only undergo reduction and acts as only oxidising agent.
Thus, does not undergo the oxidation that's why it can't show disproportionation reaction.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
