* The Cannizzaro reaction is initiated by the nucleophilic attack of a hydroxide ion on the carbonyl carbon of an aldehyde molecule by giving a hydrate anion, which can be further deprotonated to give a dianion in a strongly alkaline medium.
Hope you understand this method.

Yes actually first I created this account,bcoz I think we should give our bank account details before login, I have no credit in my account so I created it with my mothers email. Later I came to know that this app don't need bank account details, So I just opened a new account with my own name and details.
