NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In disproportionation reactions, an element undergoes both oxidation and reduction. | Reason (R): Disproportionation reactions require the element to exist in at least three oxidation states, producing higher and lower oxidation states from an intermediate state.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and reason are correct according to the NCERT context, which describes disproportionation reactions as involving an element in an intermediate oxidation state that is simultaneously oxidized and reduced to form higher and lower oxidation states.
