Why is manganese (Z = 25) more stable in `+2` state than `+3` oxidation state?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why manganese (Mn) is more stable in the +2 oxidation state than in the +3 oxidation state, we can analyze its electronic configuration and the stability associated with half-filled subshells. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Atomic Number and Electronic Configuration of Manganese:** - Manganese has an atomic number (Z) of 25. - Its electronic configuration is: \[ ...
