**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Redox Reactions**: In a redox reaction, one substance is oxidized (loses electrons) and the other is reduced (gains electrons). We need to find an inorganic compound that undergoes an intramolecular redox reaction, where both oxidation and reduction occur within the same molecule. 2. **Identifying an Example**: A suitable example of an inorganic compound that undergoes an intramolecular redox reaction is ammonium dichromate, represented as \( \text{NH}_4\text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7 \). 3. **Decomposition Reaction**: When ammonium dichromate decomposes, it produces nitrogen gas (\( \text{N}_2 \)), water (\( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)), and chromium(III) oxide (\( \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_3 \)). The balanced equation for this reaction is: \[ ...

Useually ina redox reaction one substance is oxidised and the toher is reduced can you thing of an inorganic compound which undergoes intramolecular redox reaction ?

Cartain materials such as turpentine oil, unsaturated organic compound, phosophorus, metals such as Zn , and Pb , etc., can absorb O_(2) from air in the presence of H_(2)O , which is converted to absorb O_(2) from air in the presence of H_(2)O , which is converted to H_(2)O_(2) . This is called autoxidation. Intermolecular redox reactions are those in which one molecule is oxidised and the other is reduced. Intramolecular redox reactions are those in which oen atom of a molecule is oxidised and the other atom is reduced. Which of the following reactions is//are intramolecular redox reactions (s) ?
