The manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral due to:
The pi-bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese
There is no pi -bonding
The pi-bonding involves the overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with p-orbitals of manganese
The pi-bonding involves the overlap of d-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese
The pi-bonding involves overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese
Explanation for the correct option:
Option A:
Explanation for the incorrect options:
Option B: There is no pi-bonding
Option C: The pi-bonding involves the overlap of p-orbitals of oxygen with p-orbitals of manganese
Option D: The pi-bonding involves the overlap of d-orbitals of oxygen with d-orbitals of manganese
Hence, The manganate and permanganate ions are tetrahedral because of the bonding involving the overlap of the p-orbitals of oxygen with the d-orbitals of manganese.
