oxidation reaction
reduction reaction
disproportionation reaction
decomposition reaction
C.
disproportionation reaction
A reaction in which the same species is simultaneously oxidised as well as reduced is called a disproportionation reaction. For such redox reactions to occur, the reacting species must contain an element which has atleast three oxidation states. The element in the reacting species is present in the intermediate oxidation state while the higher and lower oxidation states are available for reduction and oxidation to occur.
See the following redox reaction
A2+ + 2e- → A; E° = +0.34 V
A+ + e- → A; E° = +0.52 V
Which ion is expected to be stable?
A2+
A+
Both can form stable complexes
None can form stable complexes
