Electrochemistry: Redox Reactions

Question 1

Electronegativity

Answer 1

Electronegativity of an atom is defined as a measure of its ability to attract the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond (or electron density) towards itself

Question 2

Disproportionation Reaction

Answer 2

A disproportionation reaction is a redox reaction where an element in a substance undergoes oxidation and reduction simultaneously to give two products. The oxidation number of that element increases and decreases at the same time.
