What is the oxidation number of Mn is MnO_(4)^(-)?

Answer»

Solution :Mn in `MnO_4^(-)` , Let the oxidation number of Mn in `MnO_4^(-)` be X. WRITING oxidation number of each atom above its symbol, we get,
`OVERSET(x)(Mn)overset(-2)O_4i.e., x+4(-2)=-1i.e., x=+7`
Thus, the oxidation number of Mn in `MnO_4^(-)` is +7
