Consider the following reaction-
Correct answer: C. Disproportionation reaction
- A. Displacement reaction
- B. Double displacement reaction
- C. Disproportionation reaction
- D. Reduction reaction
Explanation
What is a disproportionation reaction?It's a type of redox reaction where a single element undergoes both oxidation and reduction, resulting in products with different oxidation states of that element.How it applies to this reaction:In this case, chlorine (Cl) is both oxidized and reduced:Oxidation: Some Cl atoms are oxidized from an oxidation state of 0 to +1 in NaClO.Reduction: Other Cl atoms are reduced from 0 to -1 in NaCl.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
