Answer:

A disproportionation reaction is when a multiatomic species whose pertinent element has a specific oxidation state gets oxidized and reduced in two separate half-reactions, yielding two other products containing the same pertinent element. A convenient example is Mn2O3 becoming Mn2+ and MnO2 .

Examples. Hydrogen peroxide converting into water and oxygen is a disproportionation reaction. Water dissociating into H3O+ and OH- is an example of a disproportionation reaction that is not a redox reaction.

What is the approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.

Explanation:

The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).

Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.
