Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((A), (B)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a particular oxidation state becomes less stable relative to other oxidation state, one lower, one higher, it is said to undergo disproportionation. \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+} \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}^{2+}+\mathrm{Cu}\)…
