Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disproportionation is a type of redox reaction where an element in one oxidation state is simultaneously oxidized and reduced, resulting in two different oxidation states of the same element in the products. Comproportionation, its opposite, involves the reaction of two different oxidation states of the same element to form an intermediate oxidation state.
