Which can undergo disproportionation reaction?
Updated On: Mar 21, 2025
- Only \(I_2\)
- \(Cl_2, \, Br_2, \, \text{and} \, I_2\)
- \(F_2, \, Cl_2, \, \text{and} \, Br_2\)
- \(F_2 \, \text{and} \, Cl_2\)

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Fluorine does not undergo disproportionation because it is the most electronegative element and cannot exist in a positive oxidation state. However, Cl$_2$, Br$_2$, and I$_2$ can undergo disproportionation as they have intermediate oxidation states and can be oxidized as well as reduced in reactions.
