Question

Why does Mn in oxide exhibit higher oxidation state than fluoride?

Open in App

Solution

Mn shows the highest oxidation state of +7 with oxygen because it can form p-pi−d-pi multiple bonds using 2p orbital of oxygen and 3d orbital of Mn. On the other hand, Mn shows the highest oxidation state of +4 with fluorine because it can form a single bond only.
