NEET Chemistry Disproportionation Reactions MCQ Question
H₂O₂ + H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂ is an example of disproportionation because:
Oxidation number of oxygen only decreases
Oxidation number of oxygen only increases
Oxidation number of oxygen decreases as well as increase
Oxidation number of oxygen neighed decreases nor increase
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In disproportionation, the same element is simultaneously oxidized and reduced. Here, oxygen in H₂O₂ is both reduced to H₂O and oxidized to O₂.
