`MnO_(4)^(-)` is intense pind colour, though `Mn` is in `(+7)` oxidation state. It is due to

A

Oxygen gives colour to it

B

None of the above to it

C

charge transfer when`Mn` gives its electron to oxygen

D

Character transfer when oxygen gives its electron to `Mn` making it `Mn (+ VI)` and hence coloured

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
This called ligand to metal charge transfer phenomenon.

MnO_(4)^(-) is intense pint colour, though Mn is (+7) oxidation state, It is due to

Transition metals usually from coloured complexes and d-d transitions (t_(2g)hArre_(g)) are responsible for colour as the energy difference between t_(2g) and e_(g) lies in visible region. But all the coloured ions are not dut to d-d transition but charge transfer bands also play important roles. Charge transfer bands may be of two types. (i) ligand to metal (CTLM) " "(ii) metal to ligand (CTML). Charge transfer transition always produces intense colour as compared to d-d transition. MnO_(4)^(-) is dark purple coloured though Mn is in (+VII) oxidation state with 3d^(@) configuration

The stable oxidation states of Mn are
