The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements and determine their validity, we will break down the concepts of disproportionation reactions and the behavior of transition metals step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Disproportionation Reactions**: - A disproportionation reaction is a specific type of redox reaction where a single substance is both oxidized and reduced simultaneously. This means that one part of the substance loses electrons (is oxidized) while another part gains electrons (is reduced). 2. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - The reaction provided is: \[ 2 \text{CuCl} \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_2 + \text{Cu} \] - In this reaction, copper (Cu) in CuCl has an oxidation state of +1. In CuCl2, the oxidation state of copper is +2, and in elemental copper (Cu), the oxidation state is 0. - Here, Cu is being oxidized from +1 to +2 (losing an electron) and simultaneously, another Cu is being reduced from +1 to 0 (gaining an electron). - Since one substance (copper) is undergoing both oxidation and reduction, this confirms that the reaction is indeed a disproportionation reaction. 3. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - The statement claims that all transition metals exhibit disproportionation reactions. - While many transition metals can undergo oxidation and reduction due to their variable oxidation states, not all transition metals participate in disproportionation reactions. - Disproportionation reactions are specific to certain conditions and certain metals. Therefore, this statement is false. 4. **Conclusion**: - Statement 1 is true: The reaction is a disproportionation reaction. - Statement 2 is false: Not all transition metals show disproportionation reactions. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 is false. Therefore, the correct option is that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
