What is the proper difference between disproportionation, intermolecular and intramolecular redox reaction?
Please explain briefly.
Dear student
Disproportionation reaction : It is a chemical reaction (redox reaction) in which a molecule is converted into two or more different products. , The species in such reactions is oxidized and reduced at the same time to form at least two different products 2X → X' + X"
Inter molecular Redox : It is also a redox reactions in which one molecule of reactant is oxidized whereas molecule of other reactant is reduced. Eg. SnCl2 +2FeCl3 --------SnCl4 + 2FeCl2
Intramolecular redox : These are the reaction which occur when we have the oxidizing and reducing agent within one molecule. They may or may not be of the same element That is in the case of disproportionation reaction a single element is both reduced and oxidised. Eg 2KClO3 -------> 2KCl + 3O2
