Which species among the following doesn't show disproportionation reactions?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidised to form two different products. Electronic configuration of \(\mathrm{Cl}\) is \(1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^5\) It can exhibit an maximum oxidation state of +7. In…
