Oxiation and reduction - Frost diagrams

3 important questions on Oxiation and reduction - Frost diagrams

What does a frost diagram show?

Shows how the gibbs energies of formation of different oxidation states of an element vary with ox number. The most stable ox state of an element corresponds to the species that lies lowest in its frost diagram.

What does a slope of a line connecting two species having different ox numbers indicate?

Slope of the line connecting two species with diff ox numbers is the reduction potential for that redox couple

If a point lies below a line connection adjacent species, what does this imply?

Unstable with respect to comproportionation --> tends to com proportionate.
