Solution

Phosphorous, chlorine and sulphur are the non metals which can show disproportionation reaction. The reactions shown are:
$P_{4} + 3 O H^{-} + 3 H_{2} O \to P H_{3} + 3 H_{2} P O_{2}^{-}$
$C l_{2} + 2 O H^{-} \to C l^{-} + C l O^{-} + H_{2} O$
$S_{8} + 12 O H^{-} \to 4 S^{2 -} + 2 S_{2} O_{3}^{2 -} + 6 H_{2} O$
