Answer» REDOX reaction,-3 and -5 redox reaction,+3 and +5 disproportionation reactions,-3 and +5 disproportionation reaction, -3 and+3 Solution :(None is correct) white phosphorus reacts with NaOH in an inert atmosphere as FOLLOWS : `P_(4)+3NaOH+3H_(2)Orarr3NaH_(2)PO_(2) +PH_(3)` O.S of P in `NaH_(2)PO_(2),+1+2(+1)+x+2(-2)=0` or x+3-4=0, x==4-3=+1 O.S of P in `PH_(3),x+3(+1)=0,x=-3` The values donot match with any of CHOICES given in the various options.This MEANS that none of the options is correct.
