Among the following halogens
\(\mathrm{F}_2, \mathrm{Cl}_2, \mathrm{Br}_2\) and \(\mathrm{I}_2\)
Which can undergo disproportionation reactions?
\(\mathrm{F}_2, \mathrm{Cl}_2\) and \(\mathrm{Br}_2\)
\(\mathrm{F}_2\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\)
Only \(\mathrm{I}_2\)
\(\mathrm{Cl}_2, \mathrm{Br}_2\) and \(\mathrm{I}_2\)
Solution
$\mathrm{F}_2$ do not disproportionate because fluorine do not exist in positive oxidation state however $\mathrm{Cl}_2, \mathrm{Br}_2 \& \mathrm{I}_2$ undergoes disproportionation.
