1.	What kind of molecules show disproportionation reactions ? Give one example of a compound each of nitrogen and phosphorus which show disproportionation reactions. Write chemical equation in each case.
Answer» Solution :Compounds in which one of elements exists in three different OXIDATION STATES can show disproportionation reactions. For example, `3Hoverset(+3)NO_(2)toHoverset(+5)NO_(3)+2overset(+2)NO+H_(2)O","4H_(3)OVERSET(+3)PO_(3)overset(Delta)to3H_(3)overset(+5)PO_(4)+overset(-3)PH_(3)`
