Give reasons :(i) Mn shoes the highest oxidation state of +7 with oxygen but with fluorine it shows the highest oxidation state of +4 . (ii)Transition metals show variable oxidation state. (iii) Actinoids show iregularitiesin their electronic configuration. |

Answer» SOLUTION :(i)Manganese canform `p pi - d pi` bond with oxygen by utilizing 2p orbital of oxygen and 3d orbital of Mn . Hence, it can show HIGHEST oxidation state of `+7`. With FLUORINE, Mn cannote FORM such `p pi - d pi` bond. Hence, with fluorine it can show a MAXIMUM oxidaion state of `+4` . (ii Art. (iii) Art. |
