Which among the following species doesn't show disproportionation reaction?
Options
- AClO   -
- BClO 2 -
- CClO 3 -
- DClO 4 -
Correct answer
D. ClO 4 -
Step-by-step solution
We know that the species which undergoes oxidation as well as reduction during the chemical reaction then that reaction is called disproportionation reaction. In ClO 4 - , the oxidation state of Cl atom is + 7 which is the maxium oxidation state in which chlorine atom can exist, so it can just go to the lower oxidation state during the chemical reaction i.e. ClO 4 - can only undergo reduction and acts as only oxidising agent. Thus, ClO 4 - does not undergo the oxidation that's why it can't show disproportio
