Solution
MnO−4 Here, Mn is in +7 oxidation state.
The electronic configuration of Mn is [Ar]4s23d5. Mn in its +7 oxidation state means d0 electron. Its colour is therefore, due to charge transfer spectra and not due to paramagnetism or d-d transition.
harge transfer complex involves electron transfer between metal ion and the ligands. Hence, the statement is true.
