Disproportionation is a chemical reaction,most times a redox reaction, in which a molecule is transformed into two or more dissimilar products. In a disproportionation reaction, the species are simultaneously oxidized and reduced to form at least two different products.
A typical example of a specie that disproportionate is the copper I ion as shown below;
2Cu^+(aq) ------> Cu(s) + Cu^2+(aq)
The two oxidation states of copper formed in the disproportionation are Cu(0) and copper (II).
(1) A single compound reacts with itself. (2) A single compound is simultaneously oxidized and reduced. (3) A single compound acts as both the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.
