Higher oxidation state of manganese in f...

Higher oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is `+4 (MnF_(4))` but highest oxidation state in oxides is `+7(Mn_(2)O_(7))` because

A

Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen

B

Fluorine does not possess d orbitals

C

Fluorine stabilises lower oxidation state

D

In covalent compounds, fluorine can form single bond only while oxygen forms double bond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Highest oxidation state of manganese in fluoride is ` + 4(MnF_4)` but highest oxidation state in oxides is ` + 7(Mn_2O_7)`. The reason is that in covalent compounds fluorine can form single bond while oxygen forms double bond.
