Vedclass · Answer

(B) disproportionation reaction is a redox reaction in which the same element is simultaneously oxidized and reduced, resulting in products with higher and lower oxidation states than the reactant.
In option $A$, $Cl_2$ $(0)$ goes to $ClO^-$ $(+1)$ and $Cl^-$ $(-1)$, which is a disproportionation reaction.
In option $B$, $F_2$ $(0)$ reacts with $OH^-$ to form $OF_2$ and $F^-$. In $OF_2$, the oxidation state of $F$ is $-1$ and in $F^-$, it is also $-1$. The oxidation state of $O$ changes from $-2$ in $OH^-$ to $+2$ in $OF_2$ and remains $-2$ in $H_2O$. Since the oxidation state of fluorine only decreases, this is not a disproportionation reaction.
In option $C$, $ClO_3^-$ $(+5)$ goes to $Cl^-$ $(-1)$ and $ClO_4^-$ $(+7)$, which is a disproportionation reaction.
In option $D$, $ClO^-$ $(+1)$ goes to $Cl^-$ $(-1)$ and $ClO_3^-$ $(+5)$, which is a disproportionation reaction.
