Which of the following does not show disproportionation reaction?

  1. A \(\mathrm{ClO}_2^{-}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{ClO}_3^{-}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{ClO}^{-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)cannot show any disporportionation reaction. The oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Cl}\) in \(\mathrm{ClO}_4^{-}\)is +7 . It is the maximum oxidation state. Hence, it can't act as a reducing agent.
