Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

hello
   the ex for balancing the reaction is
            P4 + OH- + H2O=PH3 + H2PO2-

in dispropornation, the same species undergo oxidation and reduction. so u would need a half equation for oxidation of this species, and another half-equation for the reduction of the same species. then, you combine both half equations together.

identify the two half-equations:
1. P4 -> PH3 (reduction)
2. P4 -> H2PO2- (oxidation)

next either work out the half reaction or search up textbooks and internet for standard half equations involving reactants and products from the two equations above.
