Types of redox reactions
Why this is asked: Whether one species can oxidise another is decided by E°cell = E°(reduction of the oxidiser) − E°(reduction of the reducing agent) coming out positive — that's how "will X displace Y" questions are actually meant to be solved, not from a memorised reactivity list. Disproportionation (one element both oxidised and reduced) and its reverse, comproportionation, are the classification names NEET most often asks you to apply correctly.
