❤❤hey mate your answer ❤❤
A reaction in which the same species is both oxidised and reduced.
Explanation:
A great example is chlorine mixing with water.
Cl2+H2O→HCl+HClO
Elemental chlorine (Cl2) has a redox number of 0.
In HCl, it has a redox number of -1
And in HClO it has a redox number of +1
Therefore chlorine has been both oxidised and reduced in the same reaction. This is disproportionation.❤❤

Disproportion is a specific type of redox reaction in which a element from a reaction undergoes both oxidation and reduction to form two different products.
