Which compound amongst the following gas...

Which compound amongst the following gas the highest oxidation number of Mn?
`KMnO_(4), K_(2)MnO_(2), MnO_(2) and Mn_(2)O_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Thus, the highest oxidation number for Mn is `KMnO_(4)` Sometimes, oxidation number have such values which at first sight appear strange. For example, the oxidation number of carbon in cane sugar `(C_(12)H_(22)O_(11))`, glucose `(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)` dichloromethane, etc, is zero.
