Refer to the periodic table given in your book and now answer the following questions: (a) Select the possible non – metals that can show disproportionation reaction? (b) Select three metals that show disproportionation reaction?
Refer to the periodic table given in your book and now answer the following questions: (a) Select the possible non – metals that can show disproportionation reaction? (b) Select three metals that show disproportionation reaction?

Solution:

One of the responding components consistently has a component that can exist in somewhere around 3 oxidation numbers.

(I) The non – metals which can show disproportionation responses are $\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Cl}$ and $\mathrm{S}$.

(ii) The three metals which can show disproportionation responses are $\mathrm{Mn}, \mathrm{Ga}$ and $\mathrm{Cu}$.
