In permanganate ion, all the bonds between Mn and O are covalent. Give reasons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Oxidation state of Mn in `MnO_(4)^(-)` is +7. It is energetically not possible to lose seven electrons to give ionic species. It forms bonds by sharing of electrons. Hence covalent bonds are formed.
