In which one of the following sets all species show disproportionation reaction?

Question:

In which one of the following sets all species show disproportionation reaction?

  1. $\mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}, \mathrm{F}_{2}, \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}$and $\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}$

  2. $\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}^{2-}, \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}, \mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}$and $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$

  3. $\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}, \mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}, \mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}$

  4. $\mathrm{ClO}_{4}^{-}, \mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}, \mathrm{ClO}_{2}^{-}$and $\mathrm{F}_{2}$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

No option contains all species that show disproportionation reaction.

$\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-}$

Mn is in $+7$ oxidation state (highest) hence cannot be simultaneously oxidized or reduced.
