Question

Which of the following molecular or ionic species have the capacity to undergo disproportionation reactions under suitable conditions?

Answer: A,C

💡 Solution & Explanation

For a species to disproportionate, the central atom must be in an intermediate oxidation state. In $H_2O_2$, O is -1 (can go to 0 or -2). In $ClO^-$, Cl is +1 (can go to -1 and +5). $ClO_4^-$ has Cl at +7 (maximum possible, can only reduce). $F_2$ is at 0 and can only reduce to -1.
