E°Mn3+∕Mn2+>E°Cr3+∕Cr2+ or E°Fe3+∕Fe2+ Electronic configuration of Mn3+=[Ar]3d4 Electronic configuration of Mn2+=[Ar]3d5 Electronic configuration of Cr3+=[Ar]3d3 Electronic configuration of Cr2+=[Ar]3d4 As Mn3+ from d4 configuration goes to more stable d5 configuration (Half filled), due to more exchange energy in d5 configuration.
