F 2 being most electronegative element cannot exhibit any positive oxidation state. In ClO 4-chlorine is present in its highest oxidation state i.e. +7. Therefore, it does not show disproportionation reaction.

Q. Which of the following do not show disproportionation reaction? $Cl O_{4}^{-}, F_{2}, C l_{2}, Cl O_{2}^{-}, Cl O_{2}^{-}, P_{4}, S_{8}$ , and $Cl O^{-}$

$Cl O_{2}^{-}, Cl O_{4}^{-}$ , and $Cl O^{-}$

$F_{2}$ only

$F_{2}$ and $Cl O_{4}^{-}$

$Cl O_{4}^{-}$ only

$F_{2}$ being most electronegative element cannot exhibit any positive oxidation state.
In $Cl O_{4}^{-}$ chlorine is present in its highest oxidation state i.e.
$+ 7$ . Therefore, it does not show disproportionation reaction.

Q. Which of the following do not show disproportionation reaction? ClO4−​,F2​,Cl2​,ClO2−​,ClO2−​,P4​,S8​, and ClO−

ClO2−​,ClO4−​, and ClO−

F2​ only

F2​ and ClO4−​

ClO4−​only
