Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 8 April (Morning Shift)

Among the following halogens F2, Cl2, Br2 and I2 Which can undergo disproportionation reactions?

  1. F2 and Cl2
  2. Cl2, Br2 and I2
  3. Only I2
  4. F2, Cl2 and Br2

Answer

(2) Cl2, Br2 and I2

Solution

Disproportionation: the same element is oxidised and reduced at the same time, e.g.

0Cl2 + 2OH- -1Cl- + +1OCl- + H2O

Br2 and I2 react in the same way.

F, the most electronegative element, shows only −1 (no positive oxidation state), so F2 cannot disproportionate.

Hence Cl2, Br2 and I2.

Answer: (2)
