Write the formula of an oxo-anion of manganese (Mn) in which it shows the oxidation state equal to its group number.
Solution:
The formula of an oxo-anion of manganese ( M n ) in which it shows the oxidation state equal to its group number (7) is MnO 4 − .
Mn + ( − 2 × 4 ) = − 1
Mn − 8 = − 1
Mn = 7
Oxidation state ofMn in MnO 4 − is + 7. The group number of Mn is also 7.
Oxidation state of
